Publisher's Synopsis
This book shows how city houses can define the urban landscape. One of the basic building blocks of the city, the town house also provides a refuge from city life. The projects featured in New Urban Houses display how leading architects from around the world continue to innovate on this centuries-old model. Secret rooftop gardens, sweeping interiors, striking décor, façades that make a statement – these are just some of the elements revealed here, in elegant full-color photos and in-depth commentaries from the architects themselves.
