Top 50 beautiful homes

The 50 remarkable masterpieces have been carefully selected to represent the trend
of modern home design and designers' various ideas about environment in different
regions, cultures and settings.The selected projects include apartments and villas with functional areas from the
interior to exterior spaces. Each project has proved a particular design style and
the diversity and practicability of design elements, and thus helps to explore local
cultural characteristics in the current international similarity of the design patterns.
The designing process is always restricted by both the building space and the
client's expectations, where designers' ideas are expressed through not only space
division, but also interface elements as well as various compositions of different
interfaces. Therefore, how to find the right materials to convey the orderly emotional
experience and finally achieve the symbolic effect based on the ample embodiment
of the colour and texture, appears of great prominence."Beauty" in this book is merely a broad concept, while in practice there are so many
standards and definitions about the "beauty" in the housing design. Here, it refers
to the classicism reflected in the "Quidnet Road" by Kathleen Hay Designs, or the
postmodernism in the "Apartment F" by SCHOLSSER+PARTNER or the Chinese
traditional cultural characteristics in the "Taiyuan Aparment" by MOHEN DESIGN, etc.
We hope that this book will provide readers with an excellent visual feast, and
meanwhile, encourage them to think over the essence of each project and the lasting
artistic charm behind it.
