For over 15 years the multidisciplinary studio of Axel Nieberg has worked on a diverse array of projects across various fields including architecture, interior design, landscaping, lighting design and product design. Well known for a minimalistic use of form and an extraordinary way of directing light in combination with natural materials, the expressivity of his work is a result of the haptic quality of the chosen materials. In terms of the Japanese Wabi-sabi doctrine, great value is put upon simplicity and the natural aging process of the materials, which is increased by the development of a patina. Architectural Nuances examines his architectural output, buildings which create a unique impression through their unconventional presence, characterized by massiveness combined with well-defined openings and interesting lines of sight.

The construction of small houses is increasing. It is an accessible option, adaptable to any environment, eliminating unnecessary elements to include only basic functions without renouncing comfort. Through the pages of this book we travel to countries across the world to discover a little bit about ways of life in those countries and how this is reflected in small house architecture. Mountain houses, city houses or on the coast, this book showcases many different styles but all with a common bond: careful construction and well thought out aesthetics to optimise space whilst respecting the environment and integrating the house into its surroundings.

The projects in this book convey the ingenuity and skill of architects and designers who create interesting but smaller-sized living environments. These spaces suggest urban lifestyles which, while not typical, seek to maintain basic standards of quality and comfort. The designs of these environments are the result of a search for superior functional flexibility that makes the most of every inch of space. Among the imaginative solutions in evidence are walls that contain and conceal household equipment, or furnishings that can be moved to create different areas. Although some are based on simple items of furniture, and others are highly experimental prototypes, all the projects in this volume reveal unquestionable architectural sensitivity.

When we think of a loft, we usually think of large open spaces with clearly visible remnants of their industrial origin, converted into homes. Distinguished by their high level of modernity and noteworthy contrasts, they tend to reflect the personalities of their owners more than any other type of construction. But, what happens when there is limited space? Is it possible to have a loft, with all its characteristics, in a space that measures less than 120 square metres? This book contains dozens of examples of small lofts from all over the world. They demonstrate that, even with severe space limitations, it is possible to achieve, maintain and even enhance the essence of a post-industrial New York loft. Of course, this requires the optimum combination of artistic sensibility and architectural ingenuity. In full colour throughout, with nearly 500 photographs.
