Abstract

The aim to live in a mini house can have various reasons: For many it stands for a better, more livable existence on the basis of what is necessary, possible and desired, making one’s life easier, more economical and more sustainable. The limitation of the floor space promotes concentration on the essentials in order to integrate what one needs for life. With well thought-out planning, cleverly organized floor plans and intelligent, compact concepts, a lot of space can be created in a small area. By now, in addition to do-it-yourself protagonists, established architects and hip design studios have taken on the interesting task of developing sophisticated solutions for small homes and tiny houses. This volume presents very different projects in terms of architectural style, construction method and interior design.

Abstract

Adventurous urban living can simply mean home sweet home. This book showcases unconventional architectural concepts and townhouses for today's cosmopolitan families that range from the creatively economical to the sleek and high-end. These dwellings encompass completely new constructions as well as thoughtful renovations. Such targeted repurposing reclaims derelict pieces of the urban landscape for the residential sector. Our House in the City not only presents striking photos and detailed architectural plans of diverse urban living solutions, but also tells the intimate stories of the families and builders influencing these exciting projects. The book lays the foundation for a rewarding and dynamic relationship between the city and the twenty-first-century homeowner.

Abstract

As we stand on the cusp of a fundamental restructuring of the housing and building industries, this book provides a timely overview of prefabricated and modular housing. The idea of prefabricated and modular housing is not a new one: since the 19th century, designers, inventors, engineers, builders, developers, and entrepreneurs have all been fascinated by the idea of the factory-built home. But the current international housing shortages and affordability crises have given a new urgency to the need to transform building construction in the 21st century. 00Richly illustrated and drawing on historical examples and contemporary design studies, the book takes the reader through the history, theory and design of the prefab, leading up to a discussion of contemporary problems and opportunities.
