Venice Interiors: Contemporary Houses
Living in Venice can mean a lot of things. Each of the different kinds of houses relates to the city in its own way. Living in a 'palazzo' is hardly the same as living in a loft or in a Byzantine building. Then, the fact that one's home overlooks a lane, a square, a private garden or even the lagoon, means having a different relationship with the outside. There are many different ways of living in this unique city. Twenty five splendid houses, including Casa Balboni, designed by the great architect Carlo Scarpa, are described and illustrated in detail in the 184 pages of this book and its 250 photographs, all in colour.
