5.0 out of 5 stars
Easily worth the money!,
By Danielle (Winnipeg, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 150 Best Apartment Ideas (Hardcover)
I supose it depends what you're looking for, but for me this book is worth all 5 stars! It's a fantastic idea book if you're interested at all in design, all photos are gorgeous with the majority being full page. Plan views, project details, minimal commentary and the occasional section are present. The majority of project seem to be from Europe, with a few from Australia and USA. The book subdivides the residences according to Single-Story, Duplex, Loft Apartments, and Penthouses. I just received it tonight and flipped through the whole thing, but I'm certain it will be great for reference! I just pre-order 150 Best Loft Ideas tonight as well, based on the success of this book.

Ideas from the world's best designers,
By John Matlock "Gunny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 150 Best Apartment Ideas (Hardcover)
The design of an apartment presents several challanges not imposed on the designer of a free-standing house. The most restricting is probably size, and second having to deal with walls that probably can't be moved. Even more interesting or challenging is dealing with the confines of an older building that may have beams in strange places, or in one instance in this book a now abandoned water tank on the roof to be converted into a penthouse.As you might guess from the title, this book consists almost exclusively of pictures of 150 apartments from around the world showing how some of the best architects in the world have handled the challenges presented. The apartments are not your low end Government supported housing, but top of the line units in New York, or Milan, or perhaps Melbourne. It makes this an 'idea book' suitable for any architects office. The book itself is beautifully printed on heavy weight paper and the book has a sewn binding with headbands, features that will make it last a long time even with heavy usage. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Great for Inspiration,
By Michael Murry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 150 Best Apartment Ideas (Hardcover)
This is a great inexpensive book to get you thinking about design ideas. There are excellent pictures and a little text to briefly describe what is happening. It would have been nice to get a more detailed description of how things are actually built... but a great book to casually look through.

Disappointed,
By Reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 150 Best Apartment Ideas (Hardcover)
Very disappointed by this book. I have the "Lofts 2" book which is also published by Good Ideas, and apparently many of the spaces featured in this "150 Best Apartment Ideas" book were the same exact spaces from "Lofts 2," the pictures are the same, even the text/copy and floor plan illustrations are exactly the same things! Very disappointing!
