Blueprints Pediatrics (Blueprints Series)Michael S. Smith Houses Reviews
Creating your dream house—a prospect as exciting as it is daunting. Michael Smith, a favorite among celebrity clientele, reveals the method of his design magic. Offering thoughtful ideas and practical advice, the designer walks the reader through his process, from the gathering of resource material (from magazines and iconic films to something as simple as a shell or a swatch of vintage fabric), expertly pairing simpler and grander elements (or inexpensive with more extravagant objects), perfecting the editing process, to knowing when a room is finished. Detailing the nearly encyclopedic range of styles he culls from to create his signature style, the designer describes recent examples of his work, beginning with a modest and quirkily designed house in Bel Air, Smith redid for himself. Razed, rebuilt, and decorated over the course of five years, the house allowed Smith to experiment and explore ideas freely and the result is a gracious home, as welcoming as it is stylish. In addition to his California residence, twenty other projects are featured, from a New England clapboard to a Malibu villa overlooking the Pacific to a city townhouse. In each, Smith deconstructs the elements which come together to make the ideal home.
One Off: Independent Retail Design
The urge to create an individualized shopping experience is a major trend around the world such that a new generation of independent shops has grown up. These are mostly small and are setting up against the odds so that they have to make a special effort with their exteriors interiors and branding to lure in customers. Some are a triumph of ingenuity on a low budget while others are as glamorous as their big-name counterparts. Some interiors and graphics are created by professional designers others by the owners themselves.
In fact this trend is now so widespread that the corporate retailers who sparked the reaction in the first place are getting in on the act commissioning one-off outlets and short-term guerrilla stores to appeal to a more savvy funky young clientele. One-Off is the first book to address this important retail trend. It covers food home and lifestyle fashion and accessories random gems and pretenders and guerrilla stores.
