In our modern, high-tech society, traditional craftsmanship has
increasingly had to give way to mass production. Synthetic materials
have taken over from natural ones, and the world of construction in 2008
appears to revolve around efficiency, standardisation and cost
optimisation.
However, a growing number of individuals are reacting against these
tendencies by working to create authentic and personal living
environments.
This new home-design philosophy has had an impact in many areas: a lot
of distinctive old residences, farms, country houses and other homes are
undergoing careful restoration; industrially manufactured furniture is
being replaced by unique, handmade pieces; and preference is given to
natural materials and finishes, rather than mass production.
Within this context, it is easy to see why valuable construction
materials and pieces from the past are being reclaimed, restored and
reintegrated into properties: these “architectural antiques” ensure that
every home can have a unique cachet.
Whether it’s an 18th-century wooden floor, reclaimed Burgundy slabs,
authentic handmade roof tiles and slates, antique fireplaces, or other
historic features, these construction materials always offer the
opportunity for every home project to have an authentic character, as is
clearly illustrated by the many inspiring projects featured in this
book.
Dealers in antique construction materials also occupy a very important
place in these developments, convincingly demonstrating how their unique
discoveries, often to be found in a variety of warehouses and
showrooms, can be integrated into magnificent homes. The growing
professionalism within this sector has in recent years ensured that an
increasing number of architects, interior specialists and private
individuals have been able to find materials that suit them perfectly
within the ever-expanding assortment of architectural antiques.
