Customer Reviews
Fancy buildings with awkward, boring floor plans.
I'm an architect and I bought this book hoping that I would get some good ideas from famous architects. I was disappointed.
The floor plans are choppy with poor flow. Rooms are awkwardly shaped. Foyers are not as grand as I would hope for. There's nothing special about these apartments except for probably their price tags.
