The first comprehensive monograph focused on the most spectacular residential projects built and designed by Antonio Farré, one of Mexico’s most distinguished contemporary architects.

This publication showcases a curated and handpicked selection of the most outstanding houses in Mexico.

The projects designed by Antonio Farré represent a one-of-a-kind combination of simplicity and sophistication blended with nature, turning complicated spaces into breathtaking houses. The elegant and monumental structures featured in the book are characterized by the use of local materials, the absence of columns, and large windows. Balance, texture, and earthy colors are often found in Farré’s interiors, creating a timeless and welcoming effect. His work has been published in Design Hunter Mexico, Architectural Digest México y Latinoamérica, Entremuros, D10, and many others.

Superbly photographed, this volume reveals some of the most luxurious Mexican homes, including unseen and little published works. This book is a must-have for architects, interior designers, owners or potential buyers of properties in Mexico, and those passionate about contemporary architecture and design.

About the Author:

Antonio Farré was born and raised in Mexico and was passionate about architecture from an early age. After concluding his studies in 1990, Farré founded his own architecture firm, Farré Arquitectos, working in different fields over the years while maintaining its essence. The firm’s work includes renovations of the Centro Asturiano, a private club in Mexico City; chapels; and public squares. In addition, Farré Arquitectos has built well over 200 homes and more than 50 restaurants that are still standing today. Antonio Cordero Galindo is a Mexican author who is passionate about history.

The basic goals of the sustainability are based on reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources, minimizing the waste and creating healthy and productive environments. This volume illustrates vividly the current collaboration between modern architecture, contemporaneous inner design, committed landscaping and environmental responsibility. It is an innovating book which presents ecological and sustainable dwellings; residences which add the sustainable design at the service of the quality design, as a premise on equal terms to sustainability. Each project is presented through a vast full-color photography collection, maps, details, schemes and diagrams of the solutions provided; ideas created by architects who are environmental conscious who have achieved practical, surprising and innovating solutions, adapting the program and the tastes and needs of their clients to the environment.

There is almost nothing that compares to feeling comfortable in one's own home.

Since the time when the nomads started to settle down, the house has been a reflection of those who live in it and shows the personal taste and lifestyle of its occupants. This series contains comprehensive compilations of fantastic houses built over recent years, captured by expert photographers and decorated by skilful interior designers.

The books aim to gather the best of what has been done in residential architecture at the beginning of the new century and serve as inspiration material for anyone looking for ideas to transform their own home.

Celebrated designer Mariette Himes Gomez believes that a house becomes a home only when it is infused with personal touches, when its individual parts flow together logically, and when it assumes a warm and welcoming character. In Houses, Gomez begins by inviting readers to consider the many elements that unify a house. She reveals how each detail-from the doors, fireplaces, and staircase, to the more conceptual elements of balance, color, and movement-contribute to the home's overall aesthetic, and how each can be combined to create a certain effect. She provides practical guidelines for building, buying, or renovating to create the perfect home, while illustrating how to instill flow and harmony in your overall design. Subscribing to the philosophy that less is more, Gomez reveals how to create homes of unparalleled beauty and grace.

The house is the architect's favorite form: an opportunity to work collaboratively with clients on design that shapes and enhances life and gives pleasure over time. Here the "House Partners" at RAMSA, four distinguished architects, present 25 houses and apartments the firm has completed in the past ten years, each a unique design and collectively a stylistically diverse group reflecting deep knowledge of history and precedent.

Located in dramatic settings across North America -- from Napa and Sonoma to the Michigan lakefront to the spectacular coastline of the Hamptons and New England -- these remarkable houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are shingle style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, these houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past--a dialogue Stern and his partners believe lies at the heart of architecture. Also featured are apartments in the many residential towers the firm has designed in New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Los Angeles. Foremost among them, of course, is 15 Central Park West, acknowledged as the most successful condominium in New York. To give insight into the design process and client goals, each of the partners describes his own designs, focusing on the plannng and interior finishes. Stern is contributing an overview essay on the overall direction of the firm and linking the projects together.

About the Authors:

Randy M. Correll, a RAMSA partner since 2000, has designed elegant houses across the United States, from Martha's Vineyard and East Hampton to Aspen and Los Angeles, and in Canada and the Caribbean. He has received high praise for the adaptive reuse of nine vernacular farm buildings as the Town Hall of East Hampton. 

Gary L. Brewer has been a RAMSA partner since 2008. His design portfolio includes both residential and institutional projects, most notably the new Nelson Fitness Center at Brown University. Brewer lectures regularly on the work of the firm and is a board member of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art. Born in Australia, 

Grant F. Marani came to New York to study architecture at Columbia University and joined RAMSA on graduation in 1984, becoming a partner in 2000. Marani is currently working on a number of residential developments in China. Over a thirty-five-year tenure at RAMSA, partner Roger H. Seifter has focused on residential design, with houses across the United States and Canada and in London and New Delhi. His work is widely published; most recently a penthouse at 15 Central Park West was featured on the cover of Architectural Digest. 

Projects in this book not only present impactive forms by application of eco-technology, structural distortion and twisting, but also change our mind for traditional architectural forms, which stimulate designers to reconsider new housing architecture forms.

46 international projects in this book all provide specific information, such as locations, areas, design concepts, renderings, floor plans, sections and models, showing the latest design trend of international housing architecture.

Affordable housing is an enduring political challenge. Cities have endeavoured to set international standards for this important field of architecture since the 1920s. Planners must work within a socially motivated tradition to find exemplary solutions both at the political and architectural level. This building catalogue documents over 130 residential buildings dedicated to affordable housing. It presents floor plans, large photos, key data, and clear diagrams, providing a comprehensive overview of the solutions being tested today.

The publication is rounded off with ten affordable housing concepts that were designed as part of the Housing for All competition, organised by the Frankfurt Department of Planning and Housing, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, and ABG Frankfurt Holding. Renowned architecture practices based in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France were invited to submit design concepts for building sites in the Hilgenfeld area of Frankfurt. These concepts will reignite the contemporary discourse on affordable housing – in Frankfurt and beyond.

Доступное жилье – один из важнейших вопросов политической повестки во всем мире. Еще с 1920-х годов города стремятся установить международные стандарты в этой области архитектуры. Чтобы разработать высококачественные и легкоинтегрируемые типовые решения в рамках системы социальной поддержки граждан, градостроители должны работать одновременно и на политическом, и на архитектурном уровнях. Данное издание документирует более 130 жилых зданий, относящихся к категории доступного жилья. В книгу включены поэтажные планы, крупноформатные фотографии, ключевые параметры и понятные диаграммы. Она представляет широкий круг проектов, реализуемых и тестируемых сегодня.

Публикация дополнена десятью концепциями доступного жилья, которые были разработаны в рамках конкурса «Жилье для всех», организованного Франкфуртским Департаментом жилищного строительства и планирования, Немецким архитектурным музеем и ABG Frankfurt Holding. К участию в конкурсе были приглашены известные архитектурные бюро из Германии, Австрии, Швейцарии, Нидерландов и Франции. Им было предложено представить свои концепции для определенных участков в районе Хильгенфельд во Франкфурте-на-Майне. Эти проекты призваны дать новый импульс современной дискуссии о доступном жилье.

Wood-paneled libraries, sumptuously appointed interiors, mudrooms, paddocks, and stables are all signature elements of an equestrian-based style that is aspired to across the country, from Lexington, Kentucky, to Potomac, Maryland, and Greenwich, Connecticut.

The beginnings and epitome of this style of interiors and architecture are to be found in Middleburg, Virginia, where for centuries a lifestyle and architecture have been honed to produce some of the most beautiful homes anywhere. This luxurious volume ranges from c. 1730 Oakland Green Farm in Loudon County - a quintessential Virginia homestead originally constructed of hand-hewn wood that has evolved to incorporate fieldstone, limestone, and locally fired brick - and historic Castle Hill in Keswick - a stately Federal mansion of brick set on more than 1,000 acres of farmland and forests - to the 1941 Henchman’s Lea, an outstanding example of American Revival architecture in Fauquier County and a working farm created to allow for the enjoyment of beauty inherent in rural Virginia living.

Through all-new, color photography, Hunt Country Style showcases twenty-five houses that wonderfully epitomize this tradition and evoke its most inviting and beloved features.

John Ike, Thomas Kligerman, and Joel Barkley speak architectural languages of the past with a sure command of grammar and syntax and a rich vocabulary of form and detail. As designers they build upon what went before to extend the trajectory of architecture.
— Robert A. M. Stern

The signature residential works of Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects bring together historic precedent and contemporary taste with a considered approach to detail, material, and craft. Based in New York and San Francisco, the firm incorporates elements from the great eras and the great practitioners of architecture: the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Deco, Modernism, Colonial Revival, Shingle Style; Sir Edwin Lutyens, Harrie T. Lindeberg, George Howe, Bernard Maybeck, and McKim, Mead & White. Yet ever present is a keen awareness of the modern world, notably in an emphasis on natural light and open views and a responsiveness to the unique qualities of a site.

The twenty-one houses and apartments in this lavishly illustrated volume, the first published on Ike Kligerman Barkley, represent the remarkable breadth of the practice. A cottage in Michigan reveals a comprehensive investigation of craft traditions, while a Hawaiian beach retreat explores the vernacular Polynesian long-house. A sleek Manhattan loft evokes the industrial history of its neighborhood, while an oceanfront villa recalls Carlo Scarpa’s interweaving of past and present. Unusual, even unlikely combinations - an English-influenced Shingle Style house the firm terms “Shinglish,” a Virginia horse farm that draws equally on classical formality and easy rusticity - embody the firm’s sophisticated balance between historic model and modern refinement.

Just as novelists and filmmakers gravitate toward genres that suit the themes they choose to explore, we look for the historic style that represents the best vehicle for the architectural story we wish to tell.
— Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects
