Features: This is a comprehensive work by Shanghai Popular Science Press following its "Style" series (including Chinese Style, Exotic Style, and Luxury Style), showcasing residential living spaces around the world that are rich in regional characteristics and ethnic charm. From these pages, we can feast our eyes on the diverse yet fundamentally interconnected scenes of home life across different cultural groups, and more importantly, appreciate humanity's relentless pursuit of perfect living environments throughout its history.
The book features numerous exquisite photographs, meticulously analyzing and introducing various regional residential styles in the "Vistas" section. From the snow-covered Nordic regions to the hot and humid African landscapes, from the elegant and classic European settings to the passionate and refined Eastern spaces, and from bustling urban environments to serene rural retreats, every scene is captivating and memorable.
The "Spaces" section provides practical case studies through first-hand interviews, offering design examples for practicing designers and readers who seek an excellent quality of life. Perhaps we haven't yet imagined decorating our homes in such a way, but as a celebration of architectural styles, interior layouts, arrangements, decorations, and furnishings from around the world—including Chinese style—this book is the perfect medium to appreciate the rich diversity of human living cultures.
We hope readers will find aesthetic recognition, resonance, inspiration, and a life filled with beauty.
