Since the emergence of lifts in the mid-19th century, the penthouses of buildings in large cities have gained prestige. This book uncovers one of the most interesting and ingenious architectural trends of recent times: remodeling of the underutilised spaces on the roofs of buildings. Through photographs, drawings and texts, Cloud 9: Rooftop Architecture presents surprising dwelling modules created on rooftops, private terraces turned into chill-out zones and hotels that are building swimming pools and gyms on their roofs for the enjoyment of their guests. These projects are daring designs that once again reveal the infinite genius of architects and designers. If we look beyond the architectural value of these projects at the overcrowded nature of large cities, the use given to these spaces reveals a more rational, sustainable and intelligent application of architecture.

The landscape architect visibly modifies land and open spaces with the objective of applying the most artistic transcription of architectural language, by working with both animate and inanimate physical structures that arise from geographical and social structures, as well as various technical and economical situations. For this reason, the driving force behind any competent and creative planning solution is imagination. The landscaping projects featured in this book illustrate designs adopted for new sites and the expert restoration of others, some with multiple uses. These various projects take us from large landscaping plans in open spaces, both on private properties and out in the wild, to more complex installations or structures such as landscape bridges.

When it comes to an image, colours and sketches are preferable to description in words. If you can show your client coloured presentations, he can visualise the finished project more fully. There are various mediums for colouring such as watercolours, pastels, markers and colour pencils. Acquiring skills in using any of these colouring tools to present a full-colour project will convince your client better than with a plain, gray-scale proposal.

These projects are extremely varied in terms of departure point as well as conception: a contemporary residence constructed from an old linen factory, a current renovation of an old master house, a transformation of a sailor’s house into a pleasing living and working space, a sober restoration of an authentic hotel, a hyper modern apartment in a contemporary building, etc.
These few articles, however, are based on a same element: the permanent search for the essentials in architecture and interior design.

The transformation of architectural interiors in apartments, flats and loft requires a certain approach. Designing layouts and installations for compact volumes, decoration of a characterless ‘block’ and harmonious integration of multiple functional utilities into one whole represent a true challenge. Designing the interior for an apartment, however, offers numerous challenges and propositions: circulation between
different functions of the habitat, light penetration, respect for space, creation of perspectives, optimisation of available space, etc. In this book, renowned architects and designers present their most representative recent works: timeless apartments, urban or coastal, classic contemporary style, extremely comfortable duplex or triplex apartments of more than 400 square metres, industrial buildings transformed into characteristic lofts or penthouses, and finally, five apartments where contemporary design reigns. This publication substantially illustrates a source of inspiration for those who own an apartment, whether permanently or occasionally during weekends, or even a secondary residence in the city.
