What brings a home to life is the quest underlying the 25 spectacular houses in this volume. Hundreds of color photographs and fl oor plans show how the personality of each design is as important as its technical aspects. This work takes us behind the façades into the minds of the contributing architects, leaving no facet unexplored. Undeniably contemporary, these projects were chosen for their ability to inspire, to break away from the norm. Exhaustively illustrated with color photographs, every page of this book is thoroughly documented, offering a wealth of information for architects, builders, or laypersons interested in new forms of domestic architecture.
