Book Description
Look no further for a blueprint of the 21st century interior. Following the success of Xtreme Houses, this new book steps inside today’s coolest dwelling spaces to see how advances in technology and architectural creativity are transforming not just where we live but how we live. As Xtreme Houses deconstructed the house, so Xtreme Interiors provides a postmodern alternative to vacuous style books. Houses that bring the outdoors in; walls that roll, zip, and bend; 'smart' wallpaper; portable kitchen/bathroom combinations; 'calming' wardrobes and programmable, safe rooms. Each of these concepts and more are examined in the same inventive and hip format that made Xtreme Houses such a visual treat. The authors study the impact of computers and sensor technologies; investigate accessories borrowed from industrial and public spaces; trace design shifts from rational to radical, square to open, box to blob. The result is a revolutionary 'lifestyle' guide that will be essential reading for anyone wondering what’s next in the world of interior design.
Synopsis

It shows how architects, artists, collectives and individuals push the envelope of what's innovative, eco-friendly and economical for today's residences. Houses that bring the outdoors in. Walls that roll up, zip and bend, "Smart" wallpaper, portable kitchen and bathroom combinations, calming closets and programmable safe rooms. The authors study the impact of computers and sensor technologies, investigate acessories borrowed from industrial and public spaces, rethink assumptions about a house's footprint and trace design shifts from rational to radical, square to open, box to blob.
