Twenty projects for new domestic spaces, realized from the end of the 1990s to the present day in New York and other major American cities' are examined side-by-side to provide a composite overview of the new ways of perceiving and living the domestic environment, ways that involve the function and distribution issues but also of the architectural, material, and atmospheric properties of the place. The classic loft type is now accompanied by new exclusive apartments and penthouses that offer an entirely new gamut of concepts in home and living design for the new millennium.
