We are crazy about apartment buildings, and about design. So, it has been a perfect fit for us to feature outstanding apartment design in our
Apartments Around The World social media entries.
We have featured design that we think is innovative, beautiful, or just plain unusual! We especially enjoy design that focuses on beautiful solutions to the functional challenges of creating homes in tight urban spaces. All of the projects below take different approaches to creating unique, private dwellings for large numbers of people.
