在《完美英国别墅》中,Ros Byam Shaw通过各种各样的)乔治时期、维多利亚时期和现代的别墅研究永不过时的英国装饰风格。这些高大、窄小的房屋表现了建筑上的挑战。如何用在天花板低矮,光线有限的情况下充分利用地下室厨房?或者当你住在一栋五层楼的房子时,如何分配空间?以及如何将宝贵的室外空间实现**化?《完美英国别墅》包含对这种房子的案例研究,不仅有伦敦的房子,还有英国的地方城镇和城市。
In Perfect English Townhouse, Ros Byam Shaw examines the timeless English style of decoration in a variety of Georgian, Victorian and contemporary townhouses. Architecturally, these tall, narrow properties present challenges. How do you make the best of a basement kitchen with a low ceiling and limited light? Or allocate space when you live on five floors? And how do you maximize any precious outdoor space?
Perfect English Townhouse features case studies of such homes, not only in London but also in the provincial towns and cities of England. Some feel like little pockets of countryside surrounded by pavements, others have a more sophisticated, metropolitan allure; some are endearingly eccentric, others more classical. All the interiors featured are inspiring, and reflect the personalities of the people who inhabit them. These are the kinds of space that most of us are familiar with, and that many of us occupy. What is unusual is how cleverly and creatively these examples have been decorated and designed.
