内容简介 Book Description
Thanks to the availability of affordable new materials and cutting- edge technology, architects can now create unique, exciting designs for a range of covered, private, and recreational spaces. And manufacturers are able to provide stylish and eco-friendly constructions, either off-the-shelf or custom- designed. More Space is the ultimate reference for anyone who desires to expand their living space-whether it is to be used for entertaining, a home office, new children, or even quiet contemplation. When land is at a premium, More Space looks upward with new floors, terraces, decks, or roof designs. For underground space, More Space looks down at brilliant cellar and basement renovations as well as more ambitious excavations. For building outward, More Space showcases impressive additions that add much more to a home's value than the cost of construction. Finally, More Space looks around to uncover the hidden living potential of sheds, garages, greenhouses, and other freestanding structures. Filled with fascinating case studies and practical guidance, this stunning guide is a never-ending source of inspiration for homeowners, architects, designers, contractors, and anyone else looking to create their ultimate living space.

Synopsis

Contemporary architects, inspired by the presence of affordable and versatile materials and technology, are producing designs for a wide variety of covered, private and recreational spaces. And hot on their heels are the manufacturers with desirable, stylish constructions, whether off-the-shelf or custom designed. Many are easy-build and often eco-friendly. This book aims to inspire anyone who would like to expand their living space: whether to create a conservatory extension or covered roof terrace, convert an existing outhouse or design a freestanding space at the bottom of the garden. This book presents designs, sizes and uses - from the smallest lean-to reading room to an elegant pavilion for special entertaining. It also features detailed case studies and practical guidance on how to work with architects and builders and source materials.
