Tokyo resident Azby Brown, a distinguished architect and designer, has assembled dozens of creative solutions to space and storage problems, illustrating them with photographs and plans of actual living environments in contemporary homes. The key to his approach is what might be called \"The Three Cs \"--compact, comfortable, and convenient. Use of space is reconsidered, with easy living always the uppermost goal. A living room is opened up by creating level changes or \"joining it with the exterior.\" A staircase can double as a chest of drawers, a space beneath the floor can serve as a kitchen pantry or hiding place for a disappearing bed: an adjustable table can serve different purposes at different heights. From top to bottom, in bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and hall, Azby Brown presents solutions to the problems of inner space, illustrated with dozens of full-color photographs, drawings, and architectural plans. \u003ci\u003eSmall Spaces\u003c\/i\u003e will be a lifesaver for all those with growing families, shrinking resources, and limited room to grow--or indeed anyone who wants to transform a disorganized, cluttered environment into an orderly, attractive living area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kodansha International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568364544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Azby Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52472833015989,"sku":"9781568364544","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c09f1c91-b39f-47f6-a877-1daae355fd1c.jpg?v=1777444489","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/small-spaces-stylish-ideas-for-making-more-of-less-in-the-home-9781568364544","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
