What if the too large, sky-is-the-limit budget, contemporary house had an affordable sibling? Well, a smaller sibling... It might be called a guesthouse and it would be in the back yard of the former. The Contemporary Guesthouse "illustrates and critically describes contemporary private guesthouses from around the globe.". So we get to see how various cultures view guests. More importantly, we get a collection of small houses by an international roster of contemporary architects who would not normally design a house at this small a scale. The book features work by Toshiko Mori Architect, Shim-Sutcliffe Architects, Wesley Wei Architects, Robert A.M. Stern Architects, and Lubowicki Lanier Architects, among others. Hardcover, 224 pages, $29.70 at Amazon.
