A Modern Way To Live
Last few remaining!
A Modern Way To Live tells the stories of remarkable living spaces and their owners, and demonstrates how the five principles can be applied to your own space in ways both large and small. Childhood friends Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill believe in the power of good design and its ability to influence our wellbeing. And the most successful homes they've encountered - from cleverly conceived studio flats to listed architectural masterpieces - have been designed with attention to the same timeless principles: Space, Light, Materials, Nature and Decoration.
