About the Author:

Kelly Wearstler’s interior design work has been profiled in magazines such as Elle Decor, Vogue, House and Garden, House Beautiful, and The New Yorker. She has debuted a new ready-to-wear and accessories line and recently opened a flagship boutique in Los Angeles.

The twentieth century has produced numerous innovative and memorable designs for private houses, many of which have become architectural icons worldwide. In the 1920s and 1930s the private house was the means by which architects established the early Modern Movement, and clients looked favourably on commissioning the avant-garde. Today, the house is enjoying an architectural renaissance, as private clients have returned to architects to express their wealth and status. The result is a collection of innovative projects that demonstrates some of the real concerns of world-famous architects, and displays the talents of younger designers eager to establish their reputations. The thirty recent houses from around the world included in this book reveal current developments in house design by notable contemporary architects, and demonstrate continuing links with the work of the early twentieth-century masters. Each project is covered in depth and fully illustrated with photographs, plans and drawings.

Following Phaidon’s Modern House (published 1993), Modern House 2 is a survey of the world’s most innovative contemporary houses. Organized thematically, it examines over thirty houses considering contemporary issues, such as ecological concerns, changing patterns of living, building with sensitivity in increasingly populated cities, and respecting the environment when building in isolated rural areas. It also discusses concept houses for the future, focusing on international competition designs or commissions for ‘model houses’ and offers an insight into future possibilities for domestic architecture. Architects featured include, amongst others, Glenn Murcutt, Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Foster and Partners, Williams and Tsien, Gunter Behnisch, Patkau Architects, SANAA, Herzog & de Meuron, Marcos Acayaba and Gabriel Poole. Modern House 2 responds to an increasing level of knowledge and sophistication about design and environmental issues and reveals that striking and innovative design can be achieved within the framework of concerns about everyday living patterns that affect us all.

Modern House 3 is an overview of the most innovative houses built around the world in recent years, following the highly successful publication of Phaidon’s Modern House (1993) and Modern House 2 (2000).
