Although I appreciate the architecture, I am very inspired by the site work included in their projects. The tight connections between indoors and out, and the sustainable approach to the site interventions - whether planting, hardscape, structures - all inspire my work. Great book!

This book chronicles the work of the 2004 AIA Firm of the Year. It displays some the best work of a firm that has won numerous awards for a body of outstanding work that include some of the best examples of venecular architecture built in recent years. The forward by Pritzker Price Laureate Glenn Murcutt explains the reason this firm's work is so relevant. The introduction by Thomas Fisher provides insight into work that stands out for its clarity of meaning and use of sustainable materials. The photography and layout are equal to the high quality of the projects presented. Overall an outstanding book that is well written and photographed, capturing the work of an outstanding architectural fitm that has a lot to teach any practicing or even interested in architecture.

Book with beautiful pictures of homes and public spaces by the architects
Lake/Flato.

The pictures, layout, descriptions and forward (by Glenn Murcutt) are all fantastic, I love this firm! Great book

Great book for every architect that likes contemporary architecture that is warm, inviting, and sensitive to the site

A remarkable volume on much more than architecture. The works of Lake Flato teach us that mankind can grace the environment when so many are bent on destroying it.
