The concept of slow living translates architecturally into interior spaces that slow down the frenetic pace of modern life, whether at the seaside, in a country village or in the middle of a big city. They seek wellbeing in everyday life; they favour observation, enjoyment, reflection and calm. The interiors of these homes are an alternative to the urgency of modern life and are oriented towards simplicity, conscious consumption and the natural rhythm of things.

This book presents a selection of the work by architects and interior designers from around the world who seek through their work to create environments for an unhurried life.
