Meer over het boek

RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, DOMESTIC BUILDINGS. The first things to be taken into account when building or remodelling a house is the space: the number of square meters in each area, how rooms are to be used and the relationship between them. The function of each room is important when selecting materials which will be suitable and attractive. It is also important to choose the style of decoration according to the possibilities offered by the spaces. Several of these decisions can be resolved by choosing a particular material for the flooring or the wall coverings in the chromatic tone wanted for the room or by the use of specific lighting to create the desired effect. Selecting lighting, colours, materials, furnishings and accessories according to one's needs and personality will turn a house into a room - a space created by the residents as an oasis to enjoy.
