  • Get this if you love Architecture, Hotels, and Books that have room presence!
Format: Hardcover
I recently bought a hand full of architecture books to study design, hotels, resorts, buildings and landscapes to become a developer in the future. This book was my most satisfactory purchase for the price and contents. It serves my purpose and is also a nice center piece to my desk compared to other books that look like college books. It is a high end product with quality finish and materials. The images are sharp and detail oriented. I am looking forward to owning the other two from this series and i hope the creator makes more in the future. ... show more

I gave this to my mum who’s also an interior designer for Mother’s Day and she was absolutely thrilled. She said the photos were stunning and full of inspiration and she kept pointing out little design details she loved. I flipped through it with her and it reminded me of the trips we used to dream about taking together. It’s not just pretty to look at but also sparks creative ideas. A lovely blend of elegance and escape for anyone who loves beautiful spaces. ... show more
