Whether new builds, renovations, or repurposing, minimalist holiday homes or comfortable family residences, in the city or in the countryside, whether intelligent energy concepts or environmentally friendly materials, space-saving building forms or flexible floor plans. The projects from across Europe are richly illustrated and presented comprehensively and clearly with floor plans, construction data, and detailed explanatory texts. Features: With 300 color photos and 140 plan drawings.
