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.
