The Home Upgrade - Coffee Table Book

The places we live should evolve along with us. Buildings and houses need to be updated to keep up with a changing climate, advancing technology, and rapidly growing cities. *The Home Upgrade* examines how many people are finding a balance between old and new, using the limited resources available to adapt their current environments to better suit a modern era. Skipping over the start-from-scratch mentality of big budget projects, this book offers a peek inside some of the most extraordinary transformations by lower-budget architecture studios reimagining our living spaces with an eye toward the future.
