The lack of available surface area, budget restraints or solely seasonal use are the main criteria that lay behind these small-scale dwellings. This book showcases the expertise of architects in tackling a project despite the determining factors that may limit them. Small urban homes, holiday chalets, studio apartments, lofts, duplexes, prefab houses and even tree houses illustrate the pages of this book.
The last few decades have seen a boom in the development of small houses in response to the reduced size of families, the density of cities, the demands of todays citizens and the rise in price per square meter of property. These small homes present the perfect solution for busy professionals, married couples without children and adults who want to live alone or with their partner. Far from the concept of the last century, where importance and power were reflected by the size of a home, small houses (also known as mini houses) have staked their claim in current architectural development. In response to the increase in this type of small property, numerous companies and brands have created and developed products specifically for these compact spaces, marking a trend based on economy of resources and minimalist ideas. ILLUSTRATIONS Colour thorughout
A beautiful book combining a multitude of exquisite images of important Minimalist works around the World. 500 pages showing the different ways of how to interpret and express minimalism in interior design and architecture.
In decor, the concept of rural style varies according to the geography.
Therefore, the delicate rural interiors of the French Provence and Italy's Tuscany region are very different from the rustic style found in stately North American homes or Britain's famous cottages.
To keep abreast of current trends and the individual needs of each family, all of these architectural styles and designs have been updated and reinterpreted.
Each project covered in the book focuses on a particular objective, be it the achievement of a bright minimalist interior, a sustainable home or its integration into the landscape.
The twentieth century has produced numerous innovative and memorable designs for private houses, many of which have become architectural icons worldwide. In the 1920s and 1930s the private house was the means by which architects established the early Modern Movement, and clients looked favourably on commissioning the avant-garde. Today, the house is enjoying an architectural renaissance, as private clients have returned to architects to express their wealth and status. The result is a collection of innovative projects that demonstrates some of the real concerns of world-famous architects, and displays the talents of younger designers eager to establish their reputations. The thirty recent houses from around the world included in this book reveal current developments in house design by notable contemporary architects, and demonstrate continuing links with the work of the early twentieth-century masters. Each project is covered in depth and fully illustrated with photographs, plans and drawings.
Following Phaidon’s Modern House (published 1993), Modern House 2 is a survey of the world’s most innovative contemporary houses. Organized thematically, it examines over thirty houses considering contemporary issues, such as ecological concerns, changing patterns of living, building with sensitivity in increasingly populated cities, and respecting the environment when building in isolated rural areas. It also discusses concept houses for the future, focusing on international competition designs or commissions for ‘model houses’ and offers an insight into future possibilities for domestic architecture. Architects featured include, amongst others, Glenn Murcutt, Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Foster and Partners, Williams and Tsien, Gunter Behnisch, Patkau Architects, SANAA, Herzog & de Meuron, Marcos Acayaba and Gabriel Poole. Modern House 2 responds to an increasing level of knowledge and sophistication about design and environmental issues and reveals that striking and innovative design can be achieved within the framework of concerns about everyday living patterns that affect us all.
Modern House 3 is an overview of the most innovative houses built around the world in recent years, following the highly successful publication of Phaidon’s Modern House (1993) and Modern House 2 (2000). This book presents 33 houses in 15 countries, by both distinguished architects and up-and-coming young designers, including David Adjaye (London), Tadao Ando (Japan), Shigeru Ban (Japan), Carlos Ferrater (Spain), Sean Godsell (Australia), Kengo Kuma (China), Richard Meier (United States), and Julie Snow (Canada), among others.

This visual sourcebook of 25 modern interiors in a range of mountain settings features photographs by Richard Powers and text by interiors writer Dominic Bradbury.
Organized into three sections – ‘Cabin’, ‘Chalet’, ‘Villa’ – the houses feature indoor-outdoor living, beautifully crafted materials and a mastery of natural light. Photographs of each house reveal its architecture, interior design and surroundings, while plans provide an additional layer of information. Texts tell the story of how the dwelling was sited to make the most of its location, how construction innovations were introduced, and how such solutions provide a comfortable space from which families can enjoy the great outdoors.
From the Highlands of Scotland to the breathtaking summits of the Alps and the majestic Rockies, Mountain Modern is a journey to the most stunning homes of our planet.
