Cet ouvrage présente plusieurs projets illustrés, conçus par des architectes et décorateurs de renom. Matériaux traditionnels ou innovants, souples ou solides, doux ou rugueux... A chacun correspond une atmosphère particulière. On peut ainsi choisir une ambiance zen, chaleureuse, contemporaine ou futuriste, et la souligner grâce à l'emploi des matières appropriées, pour la structure comme pour la décoration.
