Gorgeously illustrated with more than 250 large color photos (up to 23 x 12 inches) and plan drawings, this coffee table book looks at 24 extraordinary interior designs in the United States. Here is a low-rise penthouse loft in New York City, with polished concrete interior volumes and a "floating" upper floor; a renovated 19th-century townhouse in Washington, D.C., warmed with rectilinear panels of various woods; and a modern Seattle house with balconies, glass walls, and sweeping views of Puget Sound. Each study includes detail views, floor plans, and an introduction that discusses design highlights, technical details, and materials and fabricators.
