Houses Now 2

What brings a home to life? This is the underlying quest behind each of the 25 spectacular houses showcased in this colorful volume, illustrated with hundreds of photographs and floor plans that illustrate the commentary of the contributing architects. The personality and mood of each design is as important as its technical and architectural aspects, leaving no facets unexplored. HOUSES NOW 2 takes us behind the façades and into the minds of the master builders behind the design of each house, as well as the requirements of the occupants. Undeniably contemporary and forward-thinking in planning and execution, these thoroughly-documented programs were chosen for their ability to inspire, to break away from the norm. Architectural professionals and laypersons alike will find a wealth of invaluable information and inspiration in the pages of this book.
