 | The New American House by Osacr R. Ojeda
The housing industry in the United States commands an enormous amount of talent and resources. Over ninety percent of all architects and designers in this country work in residential design, and many of those only design houses. In unprecedented recognition of the most recently noteworthy contributions to the area of American residential design, The New American House documents in detail thirty single-family houses designed by some of the most prominent architects in the country - Antoine Predock, Charles Gwathmey, William Pedersen, Steven Holl, Franklin Israel, Eric Owen Moss, Agrest and Gandelsonas and Machado and Silvetti among others. Chosen for excellence in design, innovation in use of materials and methods of construction, each house comprises a case study that includes interior and exterior photography by many of the finest architectural photographers in the business today; drawings, from preliminary sketches and floor plans to construction drawings and details of special features; and concise, informative text that highlights the design and technical aspects of the house, including materials and fabricators. Lavishly produced with particular attention to detail, The New American House is an invaluable and practical reference book as well as a fresh, important source of inspiration for all architects and designers working in residential design today.
