This new book devoted to homes distributed over different levels showcases an unorthodox but increasingly diffuse type of domestic environment in which certain features of the host space are creatively exploited to achieve a wide variety of solutions. Among the distinctive features is making inventive use of especially high ceilings, the creation of split-level rooms, even hanging galleries and aerial catwalks, and not least skylights, devices that offer a strongly evocative environment with a certain dramatic flair, in which the home’s separate functions are made to dovetail more dynamically than is usually achieved in more conventional layout arrangements.
