The Taschen homes for families book. The second in what appears to be three books in a series, Working Spaces and Minimalist Interiors are the other two, all three are compilations of emerging architecture. Meaning the leading edge of the practice bordering on experimental. "Refinement in the selection of finishes, restraint in the distribution of rooms, and pains taken in integrating these spaces into their surroundings represent just some of the skills exercised by their designers.". It's not all design and austerity, there is innovation at the service of families and an effort made to make these houses livable. Softcover, trilingual English/French/German, 384 pages, abundantly illustrated, $24.95 at Amazon.
