Contemporary Multilevel Living Room Space

Abstract

The living room space on several levels is a manifestation of design excellence within the constraints of a house. I have researched the multilevel living room space during the last decade throughout the world. My aim is to take a snapshot of the contemporary notion of this space and its role in the modern dwelling. I investigate the frequency of execution and the geographical distribution of the houses with such space in comparison with the ordinary ones. I consider these two aspects of importance because they indicate the popularity of and the demand for the multilevel living room space. I rely on two main sources of scientific information: professional periodicals (magazines) and professional publications (books) from the end of the last century till now. I also speculate about the selection of the examples for these publications. In addition, I propose an illustrated classification of the multilevel living room space according to the height of the space.
