Architecture Now! Houses Vol. 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783836519731)

Cutting edge private dwellings

Beyond the fundamental notion of shelter, what defines a house? The broad-ranging selection of extraordinary dwellings in the Architecture Now Houses series shows the concept to be infinitely malleable: one house seems to hover above the ground, another is embedded in it; some have stark minimal lines, others have tropical gardens; some are palatial, others monastic--all of them displaying remarkable structural and aesthetic mastery. From postmodern castles to hi-tech cabins, the Architecture Now Houses series is a connoisseur's choice of the world's most remarkable new houses.
