Cуществование в России современной настоящей архитектуры уже не вызывает сомнений во многом благодаря таким коллективам, как архитектурная студия KD. В своих проектах авторы дополнили европейский минимализм любовью русских зодчих к дереву. Воспринимая от мировой архитектуры все лучшее, архитекторы KD чтят и сохраняют традиции, что наряду с новаторством их проектов заставляет рассматривать эту студию как один из самых перспективных коллективов. Книга представляет собой небольшое портфолио проектов последних лет, в котором также можно ознакомиться с полным списком построек, не вошедших в издание.

Architecture on Florida's Key West reflects the diverse and colorful nature of those who have shaped this remote island's character: the grand classical homes of sea captains from New England, the cobbled-together wooden dwellings of ships' carpenters, the humble but charming cottages of cigar makers from Cuba. Today's equally varied population of artists, writers, and political figures contributes to that heritage by designing interiors and landscape that complement the vibrant tropical location, quirky isolationist tradition, and relaxed atmosphere.

In Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle, author Leslie Linsley presents the true character of this unique American place in twenty-two residences. Engaging anecdotes drawn from interview with homeowners, designers, and architects and lush, full-color photographs reveal the historic and contemporary interiors and gardens. Reflecting the style and personalities of their owners, these house simultaneously respect and extend a distinctive legacy.

Lake|Flato Architects of San Antonio, Texas, is nationally and internationally acclaimed for buildings that respond organically to the natural environment. The firm uses local materials and workmanship, as well as a deep knowledge of vernacular traditions, to design buildings that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible and authentic, artful and crafted.

Lake|Flato won the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture in 2013, and it has also received the American Institute of Architects’ highest honor, the National Firm Award. In all, Lake|Flato has won more than 150 national and state design awards.

Residential architecture has always been a priority for the firm, and Lake|Flato Houses showcases an extensive selection of landmark homes built since 1999.

Color photographs and architectural commentary create a memorable portrait of houses from Texas to Montana. Reflecting the firm’s emphasis on designing in harmony with the land, the houses are grouped by the habitats in which they’re rooted—brushland, desert, hillside, mountains, city, and water. These groupings reveal how Lake|Flato works with the natural environment to create houses that merge into the landscape, blurring boundaries between inside and outside and accommodating the climate through both traditional and cutting-edge technologies.

The sections are opened by noted architect and educator Frederick Steiner, who discusses Lake|Flato’s unique responses to the forms and materials of the various landscapes. An introduction by journalist Guy Martin summarizes the history of Lake|Flato and its philosophy, and explores the impact of its work on sustainable architecture.

    The Mediterranean climate, with its mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers, has always spoken to the imagination of true hedonists and experienced holidaymakers.
    The Mediterranean coast offers a dream setting for architectural tours de force and inspired interior designs: the open spaces, the azure blue skies, the sun-drenched beaches, the rugged natural splendour and, of course, the sea itself, which, with its many shades of colour, has a different appearance every moment.
    All the projects presented in this book have the Mediterranean Sea as a central element, as a main player that determines the interior and the architecture of these buildings.
    With this breathtaking natural landscape as a backdrop, the architect or interior designer cannot help but draw the surroundings into the design. Accordingly, most of the creations in this book have an abundance of glass, of simple, natural materials, minimalist shapes and monochrome colour palettes that bring the ever-present natural surroundings perfectly into the foreground.
    Nature and architecture, outdoors and indoors blend to create a permanent holiday feeling.
