By far the best and most comprehensive idea book on integrating various modern architectural styles into a very specific environment (i.e. the hills and fog of San Francisco), Zahid Sardar's San Francisco Modern is full of photographs (by architectural photographer J.D. Peterson) that will be tremendously helpful for anyone planning a new project or addition. While the book stays reasonably focused on San Francisco and the Bay Area in general, many of the properties illustrated address all sorts of landscape and lot-size problems / constraints, and would be helpful in almost any environment.
