Résumé:
What makes a loft smart? This book presents the extraordinary designs of recently completed lofts that highlight three kinds of smart solutions. Through smart technology, a variety of electronic devices attend to your needs while in the loft, and carry on a variety of necessary functions while you're away. Smart materials provide solutions through newly invented building materials and innovative twists on traditional ones. And smart design is used by ingenious architects with difficult design challenges to transcend these problems and create spectacular lofts, often on a very modest budget.

Résumé:
Divided into three sections, "The Smart House" illustrates how technology is changing our homes. The book looks at three areas: Smart Technology, which examines five aspects of technology and how it's being integrated throughout the house: lighting design and window treatments; audio and video entertainment; voice and data management; security and access; and environmental controls and energy management. Smart Materials, which shows new building materials such as titanium, electronic glass that can become transparent or opaque at the flick of a switch, polycarbonate materials, laser-perforated metals, all of which are changing the way homes are built and the ways in which we use and perceive spaces within these structures. Smart Design looks at more extravagant innovations such as swimming pools cantilevered in mid-air, windows that recreate digital views at night, interior spaces whose functions are transformed through architectural slight of hand and computer aided design, all of which point to new ways of thinking about how we live and how we use space in this increasingly space-challenged world. Case studies of ten recently constructed homes are detailed to illustrate each aspect of this technology and to show the full potential technology affords modern home design.

Résumé:
In the 15 structures illustrated in this book, Trulove highlights cabins with the most modern of conveniences. Built of steel, glass, and recycled materials--though some, if not most, still use wood--these cabins blend into their natural settings, inclusive of vegetation. Although the interiors highlighted are a refuge from the outdoors, the porches, windows, and doors onto the surrounding forests are integrated within. Trulove includes floor plans, elevations, and site plans that will appeal to more do-it-yourself readers. The great variation in size and natural settings of these cabins allows readers to find locations and new concepts and applications of the traditional cabin that will work with their own desires and in their own environs.
