Teen Zone
by Harry / February 17, 2008

The name may be vintage 80's, but the design is from today. And teens aren't the only ones who'll appreciate the interior designs in this book. I have friends with teens and as the book asserts; "when kids hit the teenage years, a new challenge is born in the life of the family home and the home's current layout may need radical readjusting-and new issues, from controlling noise to allowing privacy, arise.". Those parents updated rooms in their home that, yes, were teen friendlier, but mostly made the parents happy. Teen Zone will no doubt make teens + parents MoCo design fans happy as it goes about suggesting ideas for games zones, dens and media rooms (as well as bedrooms, family spaces, and even a section on self-contained living for kids who've finished school, but haven't yet flown the nest). Paperback, 160 pages, 250 color photographs, $29.79 at Amazon.

Well being 17 and a long term reader of this blog... i can say that i'd rather have a space designed regardless of age than especially designed with an age group in mind.

However this book looks interesting.

Good point Paul. It's ageist. It's worth a look nonetheless.
