Beta-Plus Contemporary Living Yearbook 2027

A new edition of Contemporary Living, which continues to celebrate the ever-evolving language of residential design Brings together 61 outstanding projects by interior designers and architects from across the globe, each offering a unique perspective on how we live today From the refined urban apartments of Paris, Budapest, and Berlin to serene villas in Tuscany and coastal retreats in Australia, the projects featured in this book reflect a rich diversity of places, cultures, and lifestyles. Cities such as Istanbul, São Paulo, Munich, Dubai, and Sydney stand alongside tranquil rural landscapes in Belgium, Mexico, and Italy, illustrating how contemporary living transcends geography while remaining deeply rooted in context. The homes presented in this edition embrace a wide spectrum of styles—from warm minimalism and modern-classical elegance to sculptural architecture and nature-driven design. We encounter Japandi-inspired interiors, refined penthouses defined by light and texture, and countryside residences where stone, wood, and landscape merge seamlessly. Across all projects, a shared commitment emerges: a pursuit of harmony between functionality, materiality, and emotional experience. What unites these works is not a single aesthetic, but a common intention—to create spaces that are both beautiful and liveable. Whether it is a contemporary loft in Barcelona infused with cultural depth, a Georgian house in Cork reimagined with minimalist precision, or a lakeside retreat shaped by light and atmosphere, each residence tells a story of individuality and thoughtful design.
