The New City Home: Smart Design for Metro Living

by Leslie Plummer Clagett

Here are creative, city-tested solutions to meeting the challenges of metro living. In The New City Home , Leslie Plummer Clagett provides you with design ideas for a wide variety of urban living spaces -- from lofts to apartments to townhouses. Throughout the book, Clagett looks at a variety of specific examples that show ingenuity and practicality. For example, youll learn how a New York brownstone was restored to its original condition while its interior was opened up for a refreshingly modern feel.

Youll discover how to make the most of limited space, bring in light and views, reduce noise, maintain privacy, and live in a building with historic-landmark status. Whether youre already at home in the metropolis or contemplating a move there, The New City Home will help you create your personal space in an impersonal place.
