This new book is devoted to homes which are distributed over different levels, showcasing an unorthodox, diffuse, yet fascinating type of living space. Certain key features are creatively exploited, such as high ceilings, split-levels, hanging galleries, catwalks, and skylights, offering a strongly evocative environment with a certain dramatic flair, in which the home's separate functions are made to dovetail more dynamically than is usually achieved in more conventional layout arrangements.
