Wood has been a traditional construction material for centuries all over the world, as it still is in many places today.

Now there is a growing interest in using wood in modern residential architecture. Architects today are drawn to it for a variety of reasons including its sustainability, versatility, economy, and natural beauty. As a result, this environmentally sustainable material is becoming increasingly significant in today's domestic architecture. Wood, intrinsically beautiful in all of its forms, can be used in practically any part of the construction from a heavy structural frame to finely detailed cabinetry, and from flooring to roof shingles.

These volumes document wood used in different buildings and constructions. Each house profile is illustrated with the architect's own plans and elevations and also numerous full color interior and exterior photographs that highlight the natural appeal of wood.

Wood presents a comprehensive survey of international wood architecture highlighting the incredible versatility of this building material and the environmentally friendly possibilities of using it in residential construction and design. Wood as a material evokes alternate images of warm comfort or sleek cool modern design, and its many special characteristics are explored through the selected projects, interiors, and furniture detailed in this book.

Wood provides a unique opportunity to examine contemporary wooden architecture as a global phenomenon rich in cross-cultural influences and universality. It also illustrates the diversity in the use of this material in different climates, cultures, and countries.

The book is divided into four main chapters: a short historical introduction; a compilation of different projects shown as a whole, and typologically catalogued according to the use of wood; a compilation of interior designs, arranged like the different spaces of a house and combined with wood furniture; and a catalogue of the most commonly used woods and their properties.

WOOD presents a global survey of the most outstanding works of contemporary wood architecture from around the world completed in the last five years. Organized typologically, the book illustrates more than 60 different housing projects, and includes most of the actual tendencies in wood construction around the world. It also includes fine interior designs, decorations and furniture, always showing the widest variety. Each project is illustrated with colour photographs, line drawings and a descriptive text.

A follow on from the successful Life in Oak- Framed Buildings and Timber Framed Buildings, author Ivo Pauwels describes the many different realisations of wooden structures - from garages and terraces to gardens sheds, pool houses, guest houses and home offices. Timber-framed buildings are becoming ever-more popular across Europe, and this book provides an excellent source of inspiration, illustrating a traditional building style combined with a modern way of living, working and relaxing.

Wooden Houses places the wooden house into a historical, social and decorative context, explores the decorative potential of wood in our homes and provides inspiration for anyone who appreciates the beauty and soul of this wonderful natural material.

With evocative text by Judith Miller and inspiring photographs by James Merrell, Wooden Houses explores the decorative potential of wood in our homes.

Wooden houses range from rustic cabins and timbered cottages to elegant North American clapboard houses with shaded verandas. Wood has always played an invaluable part in construction, architecture and interior decoration and has long been valued for its practical benefits. Its insulating qualities, for example, made it an obvious choice for Scandinavian homes, and so the familiar log houses came into existence. But the vast decorative potential of wood has ensured its continued use, as evidenced by 19th-century houses with elaborately carved gables and porches.Indoors, wood surrounds us in many ways.

Structural elements such as beams and vaulted ceilings become features in their own right. Wood can be used as further embellishment in the form of beautiful panelling or carved and turned banisters and staircases, and in original furniture designs. Whether it is left in its natural state to show the variety of grains and depths of colours, or used as a canvas for paint techniques, wood is a beautiful resource.

An architectural trip around the world in eight striking reports.

Summer residences in the Dominican Republic, South Africa, St. Barth’s and Fire Island, but also a contemporary, extremely simply designed country house in Flanders, a restored twelfth-century convent in the South of France, a majestic palace in Marrakech and a house with breathtaking mountain views in Switzerland.

Restored by architects and interior specialists from all corners of the globe, the houses featured in this book still have one important thing in common: the continual search for peace and serenity in architecture and interior design, in symbiosis with the surrounding landscape and out of respect for history and local traditions.

Альбом проектов Г.М. Судейкина для многих архитекторов и строителей стал библиографической редкостью, но до сих пор не потерял своей актуальности. Это - второй альбом проектов, который вышел в 1928 году. В книге вы найдете проекты и решения многих актуальных задач по строительству домов, особняков, дач, особенно в стиле "ретро".

Иллюстрированный альбом «АМЕРИКАНСКИЙ ДЕРЕВЯННЫЙ ДОМ», который мы хотим представить нашему читателю, посвящен одному из уникальных явлений в архитектуре и дизайне частного жилища: современному американскому загородному деревянному дому.

Надо сказать, что сегодня строительство домов из древесины в Соединенных Штатах Америки очень популярно. Во-первых, применение экологически чистого природного материала и интеграция здания в красивый окружающий ландшафт значительно повышают качество жизни.

Во-вторых, обращение, как правило, к историческим, рустикальным мотивам в оформлении фасадов и интерьеров означает для американца XXI столетия возвращение к традициям, истокам, к временам, когда первые переселенцы и покорители бескрайних просторов новых земель строили свои жилища на лоне первозданной природы. Так появляются загородные имения, где дизайнерские «воспоминания» о быте ковбоев, охотников, владельцев рисовых плантаций воплощаются в искусной работе с деревом.

Мы отобрали самые интересные и оригинальные проекты ведущих строительных и дизайнерских компаний США, специализирующихся именно в деревянном домостроении. Коттеджи, ранчо, шале, шато, усадьбы и виллы возведены в основном на северо-западе, северо-востоке, востоке и юго-востоке страны, в штатах, названия которых словно сошли со страниц увлекательных приключенческих романов: Монтана, Орегон, Юта, Теннесси, Вашингтон... А названия статей — «Вблизи оленьей тропы», «Орлиное гнездо», «Усадьба у Чёрной реки», «Жилище на холме», «Утиная охота» и так далее — символизируют необыкновенно живописное природное окружение всех этих построек.

Мы уверены, что колорит проектов, опубликованных в нашем альбоме, найдет отклик у всех, кто влюблен в красоту натурального дерева, является приверженцем идеи деревянного домостроения и жизни в согласии с природой.

Издание посвящено замкам и усадьбам Англии и Уэльса – «родовым гнездам» знаменитых семей, с чьей историей вы также можете познакомиться в книге. На великолепных иллюстрациях – величественные фасады, прекрасные парки, интерьеры, украшенные картинами и скульптурами великих мастеров. Вы увидите шедевры английского искусства ХVIII века и викторианской эпохи, архитектуру Инто Джонса и Роберта Адама, мебель Томаса Чиппендейла, образцы английских парков и многое другое, что составило славу Великобритании. Особое внимание в книге уделяется социальной истории семей, живших, а в большинстве случаев и ныне живущих в этих домах. И хотя основные залы многих усадеб в Англии и Уэльсе создавались в первую очередь «для торжества и величия», они были (и остаются) по сути своей семейными домами. Автор книги – Хью Монтгомери-Мэссингберд – ведет рубрику «Наследие» в журналах «Филд» и «Дэйли Телеграф» и более 25 лет занимается историей английских поместий и их владельцев.
