Présentation de l'éditeur :
Creating architecture that is sympathetic to its site and surroundings while maximising the view of the landscape that the occupant of a house enjoys, remains a serious challenge for the best of architects.
The twenty projects surveyed here succeed on both accounts, forming a useful survey of recent developments in private architectural commissions that is accompanied by colour photographs, plans and elevations.
Houses featured include :
Cecilia Puga's Larrain House;
UN Studio's VilLa NM;
PR Arquitectos's PR House;
Sean Godsell's St.Andrew's Beach House;
Cloud 9's Villa Bio, and Jesus Maria Aparicio Guisado's ‘House on the Horizon.'
