"Private Towers conjures up images of wealth and royalty.Yet owning a private tower, whether for use as a residence or for recreation, can be remarkably inexpensive. This book features 12 private towers designed by top architects. These towers serve as primary residences, as additions to existing houses (as libraries, master suites, family rooms), or as recreational spaces (think of a tree house). "Private Towers presents these architectural follies through extensive use of stunning photography, as well as plans and drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Album with 12 livable towers beautifully photographed,
By
This review is from: Private Towers: Expanded Edition (Paperback)
This beautiful album has also a slight technical touch. It begins with one page introduction, and ends with one page list of architects. In between, each of 12 chapters - dedicated to one tower - begins with one page description followed by the best possible photos on 10+ pages, and 2 to 4 pages with floor plans, sections or sometimes elevations, site plan, model, axonometric view, sketch. Everything is beautifully published on a glossy paper, and looks spectacularly.
