Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Pennsylvanian architectural practice, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, has received numerous national and international awards for its innovative designs. From the acclaimed Apple Store in New York City to Bill Gates's massive residential complex near Seattle, its diverse architecture is alive to the subtleties of place and people, and the rich possibilities of natural materials and means of construction. This volume focuses in detail on twelve of the practice's rural homes, from Forest House, a Connecticut summer retreat built for Peter Bohlin's parents in 1975 - and the first of his works to receive widespread acclaim - to Point House, a year-round family compound built in 2001. Each house stands in full sympathy with its environment, at the same time rustic and elegantly modern. Wood, stone, textured concrete and water features all blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, setting off effortlessly the natural beauty of the site and the materials. Copiously illustrated with full colour photographs of exteriors and interiors, each section is accompanied by a brief description of the house and its context.
