Description

Buildings selected for this book come from cities around the globe and represent the work of some of the world's most accomplished architects, each radically redefining residential spaces with bold, experimental approaches. Each project profiles the completed construction with images, floorplans, and an explanation of how the design came to be. Some architects discuss site-specific challenges, while others focus on how clients and their lifestyles shaped the house. Each profile highlights what makes the project unique and the source of its inspiration. All of these houses defy expectations and redefine what "experimental" means in residential architecture.
