This volume offers a representative selection of the forms of construction of resort houses by some of the most prestigious contemporary architects. They all show a respect for nature and pay great attention to the treatment of light and view. There is also a common desire to integrate the dwellings into the landscape through the use of materials and colours. Included are floor plans, technical specifications, materials used and commentary on each project, all provided by the designing architects themselves. Jarmund-Vigsnaes, Wingardh Arkitektkontor AB, JAHN Associates are just some of the architectural luminaries who have contributed to this fine selection. Book jacket.
