Johannes Kottjé is an
architectural engineer who
travels throughout Germany
in his role as independent
expert on building damage
and advisor to owner-builders
and architects. A regular
contributor to specialist
magazines, he has also
written numerous books on
architecture, building
construction and interior
design, many of which have
been published by DVA.
An aesthetically refined office space is the calling card of every self-
employed professional. Whether built-in or as separate pieces,
furniture is the most basic component of these offices’ interior design.
Custom designed and built furniture makes it possible to design
spaces intelligently, in ways often simply not possible with standard
furniture.
Johannes Kottjé documents more than twenty-five different projects,
illustrating and discussing them in the larger context of the interior
design as a whole. Architects, interior designers, cabinetmakers, and
clients are given a comprehensive introduction to the subject and a
wealth of ideas.
• Detailed design drawings, high-quality photographs, authoritative
texts
• Consideration of individually designed furniture within the larger
context of interior design and decoration

architecture.
This book opens up an exclusive view of the many different worlds of
living, the many different types of residence of trend-setting
designers, architects, artists, photographers, fashion and film makers,
galley owners, graphic artists – 26 Catalans and Barceloneses by
choice who are now fundamentally influencing and leaving their
stamp on that phenomenon that is Barcelona today and tomorrow.
Who are these people? How do they live and work? What do they
think of their city? How are their ideas reflected in their rooms? From
the elegant centres of modernism to the palaces in the old city, from
the rebuilt manufactories and lofts to the trendy apartments in the
Palo Alto in what used to be the Poble Nou industrial quarter, this
book gives us a unique kaleidoscope of a huge variety of living
quarters and living styles. This is a view of Barcelona such as you have
never before seen!

Interior Design Space – Function – Atmosphere – Style
Martin Benad
Colour for Interiors [Farbgestaltung Innenraum]
Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt
176 pages
300 colour illustrations
Format 21,5 x 28,0 cm
October 2010
Martin Benad and his wife
Ursula run the studio Atelier
Benad for creative use of
colour and wall decoration in
Munich. He and his wife
develop individual designs for
the private homes and also
business premises of their
clients and offer regular
seminars on colour planning,
wall decorating and illusionary
decoration. Martin Benad also

Colours shape the atmosphere of a room and contribute significantly
to our feeling of well-being. And more, designed coloration is a clear
expression of individuality and style. On the basis of inspiring
examples, colour designer Martin Benad shows how a cleverly
designed coloration simplifies orientation, supports the functionality
of a room, and elevates the mood of its users.
The book delves into the following questions:
• What strategy can be used to develop a meaningful concept of
colour?
• What are the rules for interpretating an interior space coloristically?
• How can colour optimize a room’s desired function?
• How can atmosphere and style be translated into concrete tones?
All important aspects are systematically represented through detailed
3-D models. The book also presents an introduction to colour
psychology.
• Space – Function – Atmosphere – Style
• Vivid presentation with illustrations of colour concepts
• Instructions, checklists, and practical tips for both experts and
amateurs
• Includes a portfolio with samples of colours and surface patterns

Gardening Astonishing, harmonious, f illed with
exemplary ideas and inspirations
Ursel Borstell, Christa
Hasselhorst
A Garden for all Seasons [Ein Garten für alle Jahreszeiten]
Artistic, inspiring, surprising
Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt
96 pages
100 colour illustrations
Format 19,5 x 25,5 cm
August 2010
Ursel Borstell studied
photography and graphic
design at the prestigious
Folkwangschule in Essen.
Specialising in garden
photography since 1990, she is
one of the most sought-after
garden photographers in
Germany.
Christa Hasselhorst is a
culture journalist who writes
for for newspapers and
magazines. She has worked as
a radio editor, press secretary
for the state opera and for the
Thalia Theater in Hamburg.
Since 1997 she not only
portrays artists in the fields of
music and theater, but also
kneels in the garden beds, and
writes about gardens and their
owners. She is the author of
several books, and leads tours
of Berlin's and Potsdam's
private and public gardens.
Whoever thinks that a garden can be enjoyed only from spring to fall
will discover in this book that the opposite is true. The garden here, in
the raw region of Osnabruck Land in Germany's lower Saxony, is not
blessed with some particularly favourable climate. But its gardener
has designed her blossoming kingdom in a manner as individual as it
is tasteful, with many innovative ideas and unusual combinations of
plants. She outwits autumn with ingenious combinations of
perennials, bulbs, herbs, and vegetables and enacts atmospheric
paintings of green, silver, and her beloved violet. Even in otherwise
dreary winter, shaped hedges and woody plants create a scaffolding
for impressive sculptures along with evergreen plants. Numerous
seating places ranging from the conservatory to pleasurable
gatherings underneath ancient trees extend the season.

Folkwangschule in Essen.
Specialising in garden
photography since 1990, she is
one of the most sought-after
garden photographers in
Germany.

boxwood borders, wayside Cross, and lush beds of vegetables, fruit,
and flowers. But it also includes espalier fruit on the walls, a
greenhouse, an extensive assortment of potted plants with a ledge of
herbs, an English border and cozy seating area, as well as a large area
of land for keeping animals and a meadow with scattered fruit trees.
These elements are realized with a remarkable respect for nature
mixed with Mediterranean flair.

Design / Architecture Instructions and inspiration for

Open-air Lighting [Beleuchtung im Freiraum]
Lighting Design for Gardens and
Urban Spaces
Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt
136 pages
50 b/w illustrations, 200 colour
illustrations
Format 25,0 x 28,0 cm
October 2010
Fabian Maier, born in 1971,
studied architecture at the
University of Karlsruhe. His
development into a lighting
designer began during his
studies; his first individual
projects originated during a
stay abroad in Sao Paulo. On
2003 he founded a lighting
planning office in Karlsruhe;
three years later he expanded
the practice Licht+Partner
through the collaboration of
business partner Fatih Yetgin.
Fabian Maier teaches lighting
planning at the Architecture
Department at the college in
Karlsruhe.
Gardens and squares are places of regeneration. With the help of the
right lighting, these “interior spaces without roofs” can create a
stimulating expansion of architecture and of urban and domestic life,
especially at night. Using contemporary examples, lighting-planner
Fabian Maier presents a wide range of design possibilities, the
lighting techniques required to achieve them, various kinds of
products, and the effects that can be created with them. Private
houses with roof patios, front yards, and gardens of every size are
introduced as well as examples of successful open-air architecture.
The author explains the tools of the lighting planner such as
visualization and light refractions, and provides information on
products and how to solve potential problems.

Architecture The perfect guidebook for your own
economical home
Thomas Drexel
New Houses on a Budget [Neue Low-Budget-Häuser]
Building for under 225,000 euros
Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt
160 pages
180 colour illustrations
Format 21,5 x 28,0 cm
September 2010
Thomas Drexel worked in an
architect’s studio for several
years and now writes on the
subject of building,
renovating, interior design and
decorating, as well as
photographing fine examples
of architecture.
Is it even possible to build a house well and also economically? This
frequent question can be answered with an emphatic yes, if you go
about your construction project as carefully as the examples in this
book do. Building your house economically can only succeed with a
detailed plan for realizing the building project, a plan that is that is
consistent and followed carefully.
For each project in the book, the total costs remain under 225,000
euros—from excavation of the foundation pit to the final stroke of the
paintbrush, including all work, fees, additional costs, and value added
tax. The examples presented here are not “small cottages” but full-
fledged single-family homes, and some of them even high-energy-
efficiency homes such as the KfW- certified energy saving houses.
• With detailed information on cost-saving construction, detailed
dating information for construction, planning and reference

An architecturally-
designed house at a fixed
price [Ein individuelles
Architektenhaus zum Festpreis]
Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt
144 pages
120 colour illustrations
Format 17,0 x 24,0 cm
November 2010
Albert Ringlstetter, architect,
studied at the University of
Technology in Munich, and
has had his own office since,
specializing in houses built in
brick; he is the author of
several popular guidebooks
for clients and architects.
Whoever goes to an architect expects a good and individually-
designed plan for their house. But a realistic estimate of costs is just
as important, paving the way to a clearly-defined fixed price. What
use is the most beautiful home when the client is massively in debt
afterwards? The author presents the planning tools with which an
architect, in close consultation with the client, can really build
according to a fixed price—why accept design compromises with
building developers?

Architecture Building in a group: Living ideas for the
Future
Christoph Gunßer, Theo Peter
building together [miteinander bauen]
Architecture for good neighbors,
building groups, cooperatives
Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt
144 pages
220 colour illustrations
Format 21,5 x 28,0 cm
October 2010
Christoph Gunßer, born in
1963, is a freelance specialist
author with a focus on
sustainable planning and
building. He studied
architecture and after several
years as a practicing architect
became academic assistant at
the institute for city planning,
housing, and regional
planning at the University of
Hannover. From 1992 to 1997
he was editor of db.
Theo Peter, born in 1948, is a
banker and director of the
network BauZEIT. For twenty-
five years he has been
occupied with sustainable,
climate-friendly housing
construction with good
design, construction qualities,
and alternative financing. His
projects have been
distinguished with several
architectural and
environmental awards.
Building in a group: In building their own four walls, more and more
people are choosing new and unconventional paths. By building a
house together with like-minded people, it is possible not only to save
money, but to create a living environment that is tailored to your
individual needs much more closely than the usual housing offerings.
Architects are often involved in the planning: inspiring and
moderating construction groups is an exciting, challenging task, and
offers a promising sphere of activity. The receptiveness to new ideas
becomes mirrored in the architecture; this is why houses built by
cooperatives are frequently buildings with remarkable innovations in
terms of design, ecology, and energy balance. Christoph Gunßer and
Theo Peter, versed architectural journalist and experienced initiator
of group building projects, introduce around twenty new houses and
residential spaces in the text and descriptive photos and drawings,
and provide valuable information for planning and realization.
• Valuable ideas for planning and practice
• Selected collection of projects: project organization, design,
ecology, and the energy footprint of the houses

September 2010
Johannes Kottjé is an
architectural engineer who
travels throughout Germany
in his role as independent
expert on building damage
and advisor to owner-builders
and architects. A regular
contributor to specialist
magazines, he has also written
numerous books on
architecture, building
construction and interior
design, many of which have
been published by DVA.
Stairways are more than just the connection between two floors.
Their materials and construction shape the interior of a house in
crucial ways. Often located centrally in modern architecture,
staircases can create a sculptural effect, or become practical
components of the interior architecture when they serve as
decorative room-dividers or for the storage of countless objects.
The book shows fifty-five staircases, ranging from intentionally
simple wooden stairs to multifunctional stairway-furniture, from the
space-saving stairway to the imposing, apparently floating design
object.
• Fifty-five stairways in a great variety of materials and constructions
• An extensive group of examples, helpful for communication
between clients, architects, and craftsmen
• All project include photos of the rooms, explanations, and technical
information

designed entry situations in numerous photos, informative texts, and
consistently drawn plans. The book offers valuable ideas for planning
as well as up-to-date information on materials and techniques for
architects as well as quality-conscious clients. An essay, illustrated
with photographs by Klaus Kinold, introduces the subject matter.

July 2010
Horst Friedrichs’ photographs
have appeared in Stern, The
Independent, and The New
York Times. He is the author of
I’m One: 21st Century Mods
(Prestel). He lives in London.
With their tattoos, leather jackets, slicked-back hair, and beloved
British motorbikes—BSAs, Triumphs, Nortons, and Royal Enfields—
Rockers are the nemesis and antithesis of the fastidiously groomed
Mods. Elvis, James Dean, and Marlon Brando made rocker style
synonymous with rebellion, sparking a global cult. Friedrichs follows
the British rocker tribe as its members congregate in parking lots,
pubs, cafes, dance and pool halls, as well as huge gatherings at Jacks
Hill and the Ace Café. Alternating between rich, vibrant colour and
gritty black and white, these photographs capture a spirit of
unapologetic defiance in clothing as well as attitude, every bit as
strong today as it was sixty years ago. Trenchant and revealing
commentary from Friedrichs’ subjects sheds light on the impulses,
yearnings, and motivations of this enduring international rebel chic
subculture.

Carol Woolton is Jewellery
Editor of British Vogue. Before
that she was Tatler magazine’s
first jewellery editor. She has
written widely on antique and
contemporary jewellery and
watches for publications such
as the London Times, the
Financial Times, and Art
Quarterly.
For as long as we’ve been dressing ourselves, we’ve been adorning
ourselves with embellishments for ears, hands, wrists, waist and
fingers. And as fashion trends evolve, so do trends in jewelry. Here
jewelry expert Carol Woolton demonstrates how the worlds of fashion
and jewelry have become increasingly integrated over the last
century.
From the corset-bound silhouettes of the turn of the century, with
their elegant drop earrings and delicate chokers, to the free-flowing
kaftans of the 1970s, adorned with chunky, earthy bangles and
beads— major trends and designers are featured in double-page
spreads that offer endlessly fascinating and informative texts and
illustrations.
Profiles of icons from Coco Chanel and Harry Winston to Princess
Diana and Michelle Obama reveal the interplay of personality and
history in the world of fashion. And as jewelry from Chanel,
Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels and others was shown for the first
time alongside haute couture in this year’s Paris Fashion Week,
Woolton explores how brands have made the most of this trend.
Gorgeous photography from the archives of Condé Nast, Sotheby’s,
and many fine jewelers bring precious metal and twinkling gems to
glorious life on the pages of this book.

Simone Werle is a fashion
writer and designer based in
Munich. Her most recent book
is Fashionista (Prestel).
What makes a man a fashionisto? Swagger, elegance, daring, perhaps
a really well cut suit. The actors, designers, crooners and legends
portrayed in this collection are fashion forward men who possess
some or all of the above—and they have it in spades. Fred Astaire and
Bryan Ferry, Truman Capote and Che Guevara, George Clooney and
Boy George all find a place in this fun and fascinating exploration of
what makes a man into an icon. From Oscar Wilde’s penchant for
velvet to Don Johnson’s Miami style, the cool aloofness of Johnny
Depp and Kurt Cobain, or the characters of Ziggy Stardust and James
Bond— all are featured in double page spreads with glossy full colour
pictures and Simon Werle’s acute observations, anecdotes, and
historical insight. As fun as it is informative, this glossy, smart book
will attract anyone interested in how the clothes can make the man.

Schümann brings to life the day-to-day society of Vienna in which the

He is the author of 13 Modern
Artists Children Should Know
and 13 American Artists
Children Should Know.
American art is as varied as the giant country itself with its 50 states:

Mary Cassatt, Sargent create captivating impressionistic pictures;
Americans like O' Keefe, Cornell, Pollock or Calder pave the way for all of
modern art. With a selection of 13 of the most famous artists and their
works, young readers receive an introduction to American art. A clearly
arranged chronology serves to provide historical orientation. Games,
puzzles and inspiration for creative work awaken an enthusiasm for art in
children.
Each artist is featured in double-page spreads that are as unique as their
subjects. Fascinating biographical portraits, interesting sidebars, and ideas
to spark the imagination enhance exquisite reproductions of well-known
works. Presented chronologically, these profiles are strung together by a
continuous timeline that highlights world events that impacted the artists’
work.
