From the author of the successful 150 Best series comes the debut entry in the forward-thinking Open Concept Houses series, filled with nearly 500 pages of color photos—sure to become the ultimate resource for this fast-growing trend in home design and renovation.
One of the hottest lifestyle trends today, open concept living spaces eliminate doorways and walls to create a large combined area for cooking, dining, entertaining, and relaxing. No longer are the kitchen, dining room, and living room compartmentalized. Instead, each space blends into the next to create one large area "separated" and defined by islands, carpets, and furniture. This increasingly popular style provides a sense of expansiveness, connectedness, and flow that traditional architecture and design—defined by spaces broken by walls—lack.
This engaging, inspiring, and informative volume brings together a diverse collection of houses from all over the world, including spaces that have been designed from the ground up or have been renovated to reflect this popular trend. Inside Open Concept Houses you’ll find an array of beautiful and creative homes by distinguished international architects and designers who have conceived practical and functional solutions adapted to the specific needs and particular tastes of their clients.
Filled with hundreds of full-color photographs as well as sets of floorplans for renovated residences—both the original and remodeled blueprints—this imaginative, idea-filled book is a must-have for architects, designers, decorators, and home owners looking to create or adapt the open concept style in their own dwellings.

The ultimate idea book for open-floor plans, Open Concept Houses offers thirty-seven distinct home designs that eliminate doorways and walls to create larger combined living spaces for cooking, eating, and entertaining. No longer are the kitchen, dining room, and living room separated. Now all share one large space, with each “room” defined by islands, carpeting, and furniture.
Filled with gorgeous full-color photographs, detailed floor plans, and before and after renovation photographs, this book aims to provide homeowners and designers with an inspirational collection of some of the world’s most beautiful open concept home designs. These interiors illustrate how to have a beautiful home that not only fits your needs and lifestyle but also results in a greatly efficient and aesthetic design.
