Description
Creating architecture that is sympathetic to its site and surroundings while maximising the view of the landscape that the occupant of a house enjoys, remains a serious challenge for the best of architects. The twenty projects surveyed here succeed on both accounts, forming a useful survey of recent developments in private architectural commissions that is accompanied by colour photographs, plans and elevations. Houses featured include, Cecilia Puga’s Larrain House; UN Studio’s VilLa NM; PR Arquitectos’s PR House; Sean Godsell’s St.Andrew’s Beach House; Cloud 9’s Villa Bio, and Jesus María Aparicio Guisado’s ‘House on the Horizon.’
