Livin’ in the City

I often wonder about the homes of people around the world. When my friend Lisa at Indigo showed me this new book a few weeks back, I was so instantly intrigued that she sent it over so I could have a closer look. Given that our new May issue is chock-full of space-saving solutions, I thought it fitting to share a book that showcases how much you can really do in a city-sized space if the sky is the limit.

The Way We Live in the City is a glimpse at decadently designed pads packed within bustling small-space metropolises across the world, from luxe Manhattan penthouses to rustic London walk-ups. For me, living in an industrial loft conversion in Toronto, space is both an enemy and a friend. I am immediately inspired to make amends between the two. This will stir your inner interior designer, or make a great housewarming gift.
