“We need more inspiration, more solutions, and a new vision for what is possible when combining living and working environments. . . . This wonderful book is the first step.”—from the foreword by Sarah Susanka In the same format as Abrams’ successful Living Large in Small Spaces, Live/ Work is filled with innovative and inspired ideas for incorporating work into the home. The author profiles thirty live/work environments and their owners, who share solutions for everything from design problems to meeting the conflicting emotional demands of work and leisure. The profiles include houses designed from the ground up to shelter businesses; renovated lofts and recycled spaces; offices and studios cleverly tucked away in backyards or above cafés and galleries; and residences designed to be earth-friendly. Their styles range from traditional to modern, but the balance struck between life and work is completely natural throughout. This is a book about design that answers everyday needs vital to a rewarding life at home as well as at work.

ZIMMER GUNSUL FRASCA: Building Community

Schmertz, Mildred F.

Rockport

A swimming pool of your dreams doesn't have to cost much more than an ordinary one if you plan ahead to create a magic environment that's also a valuable investment. Each huge, full-color spread displays a different style of pool complete with hundreds of ways to make it your own. Break away from the traditional shapes by selecting a curvaceous lake, circular oasis, natural free-form, or a geometric response to the shape of your house. Hundreds more options help you consider the best location and views, protection from wind and sun, and color schemes to enliven the body, mind, and spirit. Next come the truly rewarding personal considerations--special attractions for children; lap pools and other fitness features; diving areas; and decks, patios, cooking areas, and furniture. Leave room in your budget for special finishing touches--waterfalls, grottoes, spas, vanishing edges, spectacular night lighting, lush greenery, cabanas, gazebos, and pool houses.

The Architecture of the Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.: Civic Architecture In Support Of Urban Aspirations

Boston-based Goody Clancy's work, from the firm's founding to its present-day incarnation, has been characterized by an unwavering dedication to social responsibility and design excellence. Its designs for innovative new buildings that enhance their context have been supported by the firm's important planning and preservation activities which include some of the nation's most cherished and historically significant buildings, such as Boston's 18th-century Old State House and Faneuil Hall, and H. H. Richardson's Trinity Church. Their notable expertise in urban design and planning has led to designs that have transformed public housing developments like Columbia Point in Boston and Cabrini-Green in Chicago into rejuvenated mixed-income neighborhoods. This volume is a presentation and examination of the firm's diverse and remarkable body of work using vibrant photography, plans and illuminating essays by the distinguished architecture writer Deborah K. Dietsch.
