Description

This is a new look at a variety of small spaces from around the world that includes not only intriguing small residential projects, but retail, commercial and other spaces as well. Ingenuity is the common trait that makes all these spaces work, despite their physical constraints. Floor plans, drawings and detailed photographs throw light on the architects' clever and carefully considered responses to the many challenges posed by restricted spaces. 48 projects are examined, the common factor being that their total floor area is no bigger than 100 square metres. Particular highlights include the bulbous shelving of the Librairie Florence Lowey in Paris, various inventive structures in Japan and the H Retreat portable home.
