Description
Homes that make us say, "Ahhh" - that's what this gallery of architecture is about. The common thread that runs throughout the 40 featured homes, which are as varied in setting as they are in style, is the originality and splendour of each dwelling. "40 Houses" takes readers on a voyeuristic tour through minimalist homes that frame breathtaking New England views and "maximalist" California homes that resemble Arabian casltes and saxophones fltutes, and much more. Each home is photographed from several interior and exterior angles and each represents its creator's awareness of the peculiarities of site, context, history and climate. Architectural drawings and text describe the challenges and solutions each artist hit upon during the design process. - from Amzon
