ordinary.......2006-06-26
Nothing special.
Just one among many others similar choices.
If you are an architect, looking for a good source book and innovative ideas, that's not the best choice. Just an ordinary book...
Lots of Photograhs.......2006-01-01
I really like this book - it is very inspirational as you see everything from architectural point of view. Photograhs quality is good and there are lots of them, most of them taken from almost empty rooms but even without furniture on some photos, you are simply just amazed of apartments this book holds. If you love interior decorating and modern living this book might be nice inspirational source for your next project - as it was to me!
Beautiful Ideals.......2005-04-29
It's a goreous book. Usually the people that live in these spaces are in cities that you can not afford to buy a house, but because of career choices, or location must live in limited spaces in a major international city. It's more of a coffee table book for the reader "to dream" that you can live in one of these studios for a summer.
Basically, if you live in a studio, and want to remodel your apartment into one these units, it will take a lot of creative resources to pay to transform a unit into one of the studios' seen in the pages of this book.
If you have some money to transform your studio apartment, I have one word for you..murphy bed...and please shop around....
The author besides focusing on international locations around the world, outlines the furniture used in these units (multi-functional), and the use of every inch of wall space-to help the dweller survive living in a small space.

The best one I could find.......2007-06-01
This book gave me some practical guidance for planning out how to live my life in a single, not-so-big room. After reading this, I lost all my fears of living in a studio and felt prepared to live in one.
PACKED with ideas.......2005-03-06
This is the most useful and realistic book I have seen on studio decorating. Ms. Katz's book is a lot like a great studio apartment: functional, beautiful, and just crammed with good stuff. I have rarely seen such idea density. In particular, the book collects a lot of innovative multi-function and compact furniture. I only wish it were more specific on where to buy some of the pictured items. For example, I have searched the internet for a loveseat whose arms fold down to turn into a single bed, but no internet retailer seems to carry that type of sofabed.
False Advertising.......2004-08-29
Not the book to use for ideas on true one-room small space living...let alone useful for people that need to operate on a budget.
One of the most practical books in the genre ..........2002-07-25
Most of the books on this topic are rather unrealistic and assume that you are going to drop thousands into reconstructing an apartment you don't even have a long-term lease on. This book seems to have many more practical ideas and better yet, it provides a list of suppliers as well. Also provides some hints on painting the walls and ceilings different shades of the same color to make the room appear larger. Generally, I found this the most practical book of the genre, but everyone's situation is unique and what works for one person may not be right for everyone. There are some good pictures and ideas in this book that may get you thinking about some of your own ideas.
Best book on the subject I've ever read.......2002-03-13
For the past three years I've been visiting local bookstores on at least a weekly basis - including chain outlets, used bookstores, and shops that specialize in books on design - looking for books that would give me ideas about what I could do with my tiny studio apartment (on a reasonable budget). Although targeted more toward loft dwellers, this is still unquestionably the best book on the subject of living in small spaces that I've found. Its suggestions range from the practical to the extravagant and from cheap to costly, but all of them are presented in a richly visual way that should give any reasonably creative person a lot of good ideas. Not only are several different layouts presented in depth, but also a small catalog of innovative furnishings (from miniature dishwashers to beds that slide under raised seating platforms) and construction materials are provided. The book also walks the reader through drawing a blueprint of your room and potential furnishing layouts, which is a fantastic way to force even less-than-inventive souls (like me!) to reexamine how they're utilizing limited space and guide them toward coming up with novel solutions they would never have considered before.
While I've picked up valuable tips browsing dozens of other books dealing with this subject, this is the only one of those books I've bothered to buy. It's a reference point I find myself going back to again and again as I slowly rearrange and redecorate my living space into something not only more functional but also far more attractive. I can't believe the publisher allowed this one to go out of print!

A CHERISHED BOOK.......2005-08-22
I have kept this book for years and once in awhile drag it out to look at It has black and white photos and decorating from the 1970's but to see real people's one room apts and how they have created homes in such small space has been a source of inspiration for a long time.
