Michael Crosbie's theme for this book is the architect's own office. As with most professions, first impressions are paramount, but architects who design their own offices have their own reputations on the line, in an acutely public manner. Clients may assess a firm's style on the design of its office, and commissions can be won or lost on the basis of vital first impressions. Architects' own offices can be effective sales vehicles for their services to potential clients and they can speak volumes about the style, ability and culture of the firm. The projects carefully chosen for this collection range from the humble but superbly designed, to the spectacular showpiece, each highlighting the importance of an architect's own office and the various roles it plays.

Dostępność: na zamówienie This beautifully photographed book explores the lure of the countryside: the wide open spaces and starry skies, the lack of neighbours, noise and pollution, the ability to 'get away from it all'. Many people are choosing to persue their 'sea change' inland, and are creating some spectacular homes in well-hidden locations. However, the diversity and fragility of rural locations provide substantial challenges for the architect of today, primarily, how to insert a building into a pristine environment without affecting often delicate ecosystems.
