This book illustrates how it is possible for a home to be cozy and comfy, while still being at the cutting-edge of interior design.

This book presents ten projects by well-known interior specialists, with color as a uniting them from monochrome white and sandy shades to the most exuberant and daring color combinations, from the monastic simplicity of neutral tones to the most lively and extroverted color schemes.

This book shows a host of examples of recently built or restored residences, where interior designers and antiquarians have achieved an eclectic whole emerging from old and new.

This book will take you on an architectural tour through Provence and the Côte d’Azur, considered by many people to be the most beautiful region of France. Contemporary architecture and design are the theme of this book: in contract with the classic Provençal style, we make a case for resolutely modern, streamlined architecture and interiors. Two tendencies stand out: on the one hand, the renovation and “stripping” of classic mas, bastides and country houses, which are reduced to their true essence, with the exterior often remaining intact for conservation reasons, and, on the other hand, the construction of uncompromising, visionary villas that make you forget the classic architectural idiom of this region.

Antique building materials immediately give timeless, inimitable style to a new or restored home. Reclaimed wooden floors, old terracotta tiles, traditional Burgundy slabs, old roof tiling, antique fireplaces... these all fit perfectly into contemporary or classic surroundings. This book presents dozens of inspiring examples, each one beautifully photographed, and also provides addresses of dealers in antique construction materials.

This new series showcases a compilation of the most beautiful and inspirational reports of the Beta-Plus architecture and interior design series.

During the past few years, bathrooms have begun to gain more importance in our interiors.
