Record Interiors 2008
Our annual survey of remarkable interiors includes 14 projects for which materials matter: A downtown Milwaukee bar by Johnsen Schmaling Architects, a minimalist Beijing restaurant by CL3, one of Tokyo’s latest Bathing Ape (BAPE) boutiques by Wonderwall, and a list of other projects that pair striking details with impeccable execution.

Themes and Variations
We examine the work of seven multifaceted architecture firms that use visual leitmotifs to create context and aura in their spaces.

Record Interiors 2007
Six interiors by designers and firms including Ryuji Nakamura, John Pawson (Our lady of Novy Dvur, pictured), and Asymptote are featured in this year's Record Interiors. The featured spaces reveal an eye for drama with a delicate touch, characterized by a pale and nuanced palette.

Record Interiors 2006
From a dental clinic in Berlin to a beauty salon in Tokyo, each project in Record Interiors 2006 began with existing structures (even if, at an earlier time, the interior architect also designed the shell). And in each case, the new insertions compellingly alter our perceptions of the space.
