- Summary
- "The thirty houses featured in this illustrated volume range from a Portuguese vacation home whose granite facade blends seamlessly into an ancient system of agricultural terraces to a Japanese family residence whose translucent walls glow like a paper lantern in the nighttime, but they all embody the same contemporary architectural trend: a radical shift in thinking about the residential architecture of the countryside. An increasing exodus from the stresses of urban living has brought a positive and powerful design consciousness out of the cities into new and challenging environments.
- New Country Houses explores how architects today seek to reinvent the country house and develop a new rural architecture for the 21st century, rather than simply remodeling or recreating the methods and manners of the past."--Jacket.
