Space Within

This book "examines four domestic models that are common to major cities around the world - the town house, the suburban house, the apartment and the converted industrial or commercial building. This groundbreaking book details their history and looks at how each can be altered to suit a contemporary way of life. It also presents more than 20 case studies that span the four models and describes how the parnership between owner and architect has resulted in living spaces that are entirely in keeping with the householder's needs and budgets." - book jacket.
