Book Description
"Volume 3: Bay Area Modern" is the third in a series of compilations featuring contemporary houses by PlanetArchitecture.com Featured on this CD-ROM are four houses by four of the most thoughtful and provocative architects working in the Bay Area today. Anne Fougeron's Kuhling Wilcox House is a study in surfaces, light and tectonics. She cites Pierre Chareau's Maison de Verre in Paris as a standard in architecture, and here, certainly, that standard has been embraced. Jim Jennings' Oliver House is a museum in a home. Its formal composition and grand aura reads museum while the delicate detailing of materials and spatial organization gives it the warmth and intimacy of a home. Fernau & Hartman's Anderson Ayers House continues the Northern California tradition of Maybeck but adds a playful casualness in compositions, colors, and materials that makes it a thoroughly modern, yet unpretentious and comfortable home. Robert Swatt's Kohavi House is undoubtedly inspired by the works of R.M. Schindler. The forms, materials and relationship of indoor and outdoor spaces exudes the spirit of Schindler's finest residences. These houses all represent highly unique approaches in addressing single family residences in urban, suburban and semi-rural environments.
