From the modern, flat-roofed concrete home to an energy-independent
cob-walled house in the countryside, this guide shows seventy
single-family homes that showcase the best of contemporary design.
Each home is identified in terms of eight design considerations,
including challenging lots, homes in the country, houses with a
view, small spaces, unusual shapes, additions and remodels, zoning
restrictions, and adding in-law or guest suites and office spaces.
Packed with beautiful color images of both interiors and exteriors,
floor plans, and details about the materials and types of
construction used, this book is a valuable source of inspiration
for architects and homeowners planning their dream house.
Nine years after the first major monograph on the work of the
architectural office Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei, a second volume
marks the tentative culmination of many years of harmonious
collaboration between the three partners. From the outset, the
office committed to the guiding principle: “First the city, then
the house.†A second principle: “Inside is different from
outside,†is also reflected in its buildings. The external form
of a house, as part of the public realm, is committed to the city,
whereas the interior of a house is dedicated to the private needs
and lifestyle of its residents. Buildings are not industrial
products, but individuals in which the creative influence of hand
and intellect are manifest.
