Summary

The homes featured in this book challenge the concept of domestic architecture. Concrete, steel, polycarbonate and timber are reconsidered and translated into designs for the 21st century. While they may appear irreverant at first, each advances the cause of contemporary architecture, whether in small increments or as larger gestures. A new book by Stephen Crafti, the author of the Small Spaces series, Beach Houses of Australia and New Zealand and Designing for Success: The Office .
