The design of houses has the potential to provide unique opportunities for architects to develop and realize unusual ideas and innovative solutions for the outer appearance of the building, the integration in the surroundings, the organization of the interior spaces as well as the design of the rooms. This 512 page volume of the series Collection features around 200 houses from all parts of the world ? by famous architects as well as the stars of the future unknown so far focusing on the variety of possibilities for creating private residences. Each project is featured by comprehensive texts in English, German and French, sketches, floor plans and drawings as well as high-quality photographs.

The coming together of the forces of mountainous landscapes and architecture finds a unique expression in the chalet cottage. The singularity of location captures the imagination of architects and designers with spectacular houses and unusual interiors. Light-flooded rooms with giant panoramic windows may be juxtaposed with archaic forms; homey parlours contrast against unusual implementation of stone and concrete.

This, however, also meant forgetting that these environments should promote fun, learning and creativity. However, the field has been experiencing a revolution and this volume showcases 60 of the most outstanding recent innovations worldwide. The chosen projects prove especially that collaboration between educationalists and designers can be uniquely fruitful for the planning and building of kindergartens.

This title showcases the work of architects and builders who are striving to bring design and production concepts together to embrace modernist ideals and deliver affordable edgy designs. The challenge is to combine the need for mobility and sustainability with a building design that appeals to clients and overcomes potentially negative stereotypes that are conventionally associated with prefab.
