Summary:

"Every architect dreams of a perfect client, and every client dreams of a perfect architect. Alas, these relationships do not always work out to everyone's expectations. But when they do - when there are shared ideas and the communication flows - the results can be spectacular. The New Modern House features forty new buildings where the synergy between the right designer and the right client has resulted in works that surpass everyone's expectations." "The case studies here center around five themes - conditions, materials, environment, budget, and aesthetics - and include Rafael Vinoly's Piano House in New York, Sean Godsell's Peninsula House in Australia, and Ahadu Abaineh's Tree House in Ethiopia, and many others."
"The New Modern House captures these noteworthy designs with a wealth of color photography, plans, and drawings, and makes an ideal book for anybody dreaming of the perfect house."--Jacket.
