'Homes For Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World.'

The doors to the world’s most beautiful private abodes are flung wide open in Taschen's 'Homes For Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World', a 512-page hardcover that offers a sweeping survey of the contemporary house. Featuring small cottages and lavish villas, beach houses and forest refuges designed by the likes of Shigeru Ban and Marcio Kogan, as well as up and comers like Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia and Desai Chia, this assessment of remarkable domestic design and architecture spans the globe and features projects in locations that include Australia, New Zealand, India, Spain, China, Vietnam and more. Highlights include Shunri Nishizawa’s House in Chau Doc, characterised by a tropical sophistication via exposed timber beams, woven bamboo and concrete panels, while Shinichi Ogawa’s Seaside House is an immaculate two-story minimalist marvel in Kanagawa. Authored by Philip Jodidio, also behind Taschen titles on Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Shigeru Ban and Richard Meier, the multilingual book is translated into English, French and German.
