This is an architecture monograph that treats in extensive detail 12 extraordinary houses that have been built within the last decade by the firm of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. The houses are immensely appealing because they are non-pretentious, exquisitely crafted of wood and stone and other natural materials, and are all sited within beautiful wooded, mountainous, or lake-side locales throughout the U.S. Each house is accompanied by sumptuous new colour photography, richly detailed conceptual sketches, presentation drawings, and construction documents.
