Architecture Books: ‘Vertical Living’ (2021)
Vertical Living is an introduction to the architecture and interior masterminds using skillful, clever design to conquer compact living wherever there is space. As we continue to expect more of our flats and houses, unexpected approaches are necessary for the future of our urban spaces.
The era of moving to the suburbs is coming to an end. Instead, a growing movement of city dwellers are looking for grand architectural solutions in the smallest of spaces. Slender, slim, and tall structures are soaring in the limited land available, offering innovative solutions to a world with ever-growing urbanization.
The book looks at ingenious architectural solutions: impossibly skinny houses wedged into narrow plots, spacious homes built into neglected infill sites and comfortable homes created in tiny spaces. By combining inspirational projects, in-depth features and engaging profiles of architects around the world, Vertical Living will offer a new way of looking at how we live in the built environment.

Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Carlex Yachting Edition: carlexdesign.com/pl/limitowane-edycje/mercedes-benz-g63-amg/yachting-edition The latest version of the AMG G 63 is a true beast and a generously equipped SUV right from the assembly line.

Infiniti QX55: http://www.infinitiusa.com/infiniti-news/blog/infiniti-qx55-crossover-coupe.html Despite the completely shared platform with the QX50, the Infiniti QX55 fastback SUV actually borrows styling cues from the striking mi-size FX model that was in production between 2003 and 2017.

Aston Martin DBX: astonmartin.com/en/models/dbx Throughout its existence, Aston has filed for bankruptcy 7 times and in March 2020 was aiming straight for its 8th. But thanks to the combined efforts of Lawrence Stroll and other shareholders, a half a billion pounds cash injection saved the company yet again, so the arrival of the DBX is back on track.
Kia Carnival Hi-Limousine: kia.com/worldwide/vehicles/carnival.do Despite being labeled as a minivan, the Carnival AKA Sedona in its current form looks like a confident 7 seat crossover, or as Kia calls it a “Grand Utility Vehicle”.
