100 More of the World's Best Houses

Robyn Beaver, 2006

Images is delighted to present this third volume of 100 fabulous architect-designed houses from around the world. We've found some remarkable homes, tucked away in off-the-beaten-track locations like Dakar, Senegal; Ко Samui, Thailand; the Brazilian countryside; Shanghai, China; Andalusia, Spain; and in more well-travelled locations, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Brazil, Finland, Mexico, Europe, and Japan. Our research uncovered some delightful gems like the 19th-century Belgian castle that has been brought into the 21st century with the use of photovoltaic cells to provide energy; the Tokyo residence that incorporates technology developed by NASA as a coating for its unusual fagade; an experimental prototype using structural insulated panels in the Michigan countryside; an ultra-modern family home built on the footprint of a tennis court in suburban Melbourne; a sprawling, ultra-modern home in central Bangkok, and many more unique residences. Each of the 100 featured houses is described in the architect's words, accompanied by superb architectural photography and in most cases, plans that assist in a comprehensive understanding of each project. Like its two predecessors, 700 of the World's Best Houses and Another 100 of the World's Best Houses, this book will provide abundant ideas and inspiration for your own home, and plenty of food for thought for your fantasy home, too.

Robyn Beaver, 2006

Following the success of IMAGES' first 100 of the World's Best Houses book, we searched the globe for another collection of amazing houses. The result of this search is Another 100 of the World's Best Houses. Each house in this new volume has been selected for its unique and extraordinary qualities. The overwhelming theme is the way in which architects use their remarkable skills to relate these masterpieces to their various contexts and landscapes. Locations are as diverse as the houses themselves and include the coast of Peru, inner-city London, rugged Australian coastal sites, urban São Paulo, spectacular New Zealand alpine retreats and coastal hideaways, American prairies, frosty Oslo, the gorgeous West Indies, tropical Southeast Asia, suburban Lithuania, and Costa Rica, to name but a few.

Charles R: Stinson Architects: Compositions in Nature

Robyn Beaver, 2008

Architect Charles R. Stinson conceives each project as a balance of space and light, where horizontal and natural light bring the outside in. The result is a living space that is both transcendent and grounding; a place that lifts the spirit and connects those who live there. Whether he is envisioning a family home or creating an entire community, Stinson views the compositional process as the art of 'putting families and friendships' together. Architect and client collaborate to define an architectural vision that seamlessly joins beauty with function and interior with exterior. The book explores Charles Stinson's most significant work, offering readers an opportunity to see the spaces that live and breathe light in his homes, commercial projects and neighbourhoods. Renowned photographer Peter Bastianelli-Kerze captures these compositions in full colour and scope. Stinson's own sketches add an intimate layer to this stunning collection of works. Подробнее
