Hardworking House: The Art of Living Design - Tapa dura

In this book Grey explores contemporary domestic architecture to show that houses can be functional without being stark, and can embody the virtues and traditions of the past without being any less contemporary. His solutions have roots as diverse as the traditional Japanese house, Shaker workrooms, the Arts and Crafts movement and a gypsy wagon: all are practical and liveable-in. Lavishly illustrated the book offers fresh ideas and sound advice for everyone interested in the present and future of interior design.
