The time is right for this magnificently produced, large-format book on internationally revered Dutch interior architect Francine Broos. She has found a personal style that astutely mixes natural wood, earthy stone and other warming elements with classic white surfaces and iconic mid-century furniture. Her environments invite the outside in, using windows and perfectly framed views to calm the hard surfaces and create a feeling of tranquility. Never monotonous or cathedral-like, these spaces are clearly for living. Photographer Peter Kooijman captures the warmth and elegance of Broos' designs in sections featuring living, working, live/work and bathing interiors. The reader can see the inspiration of designers like Frank Lloyd Wright, Tadao Ando, Eileen Gray and Philippe Starck in these timeless spaces.
