Review by Library Journal Review

Warehouses continue to be attractive and unique living quarters for adventurous city dwellers. Here Bush, whose life in a converted warehouse inspired her to create Warehouse Home magazine, visits dwellings around the world from a biscuit factory to a liquor warehouse. The unique details inherent in these spaces, such as trusses, beams, and brickwork, provide a focus to discuss the features that define this industrial style. Bush examines 18 residences, explaining how the architects, designers, and residents have converted the spaces to suit their lifestyle. The latter section shows a variety of furniture and decorative accessories for those desiring an industrial look in their own abode. -VERDICT This well-illustrated volume with its close investigation of an array of warehouse spaces provides a wealth of ideas for those interested in this style. © Copyright 2017.
