40 Houses

Homes that make us say, "Ahhh." That's what this stunning gallery of architectural wonder is about. The common thread that runs throughout the 40 featured homes, which are as varied in setting as they are in style, is the unquestionable originality and splendor of every dwelling. "40 Houses takes readers on a voyeuristic tour through minimalist homes that frame breathtaking New England views and "maximalist" California homes that resemble Arabian castles and saxophone flutes, and much more. Each home is beautifully photographed from several interior and exterior angles, and each represents its creator's keen awareness of the peculiarities of site, context, history, and climate. Architectural drawings and text describe the challenges and solutions each extraordinary artist hit upon during the design process. At once eye-popping and inviting, this book harbors valuable insights about what it takes to dream up and design one-of-a-kind homes.Ojeda, Oscar Riera is the author of '40 Houses' with ISBN 9781592530038 and ISBN 1592530036.
