Beautiful Ideals
It's a goreous book. Usually the people that live in these spaces are in cities that you can not afford to buy a house, but because of career choices, or location must live in limited spaces in a major international city. It's more of a coffee table book for the reader "to dream" that you can live in one of these studios for a summer.

Basically, if you live in a studio, and want to remodel your apartment into one these units, it will take a lot of creative resources to pay to transform a unit into one of the studios' seen in the pages of this book.

If you have some money to transform your studio apartment, I have one word for you..murphy bed...and please shop around....

The author besides focusing on international locations around the world, outlines the furniture used in these units (multi-functional), and the use of every inch of wall space-to help the dweller survive living in a small space.

Lots of Photograhs
I really like this book - it is very inspirational as you see everything from architectural point of view. Photograhs quality is good and there are lots of them, most of them taken from almost empty rooms but even without furniture on some photos, you are simply just amazed of apartments this book holds. If you love interior decorating and modern living this book might be nice inspirational source for your next project - as it was to me!

ordinary
Nothing special.
Just one among many others similar choices.

If you are an architect, looking for a good source book and innovative ideas, that's not the best choice. Just an ordinary book...
