Description

Peter Lloyd (au); Keith Collie (ph). In Oct. 1991 a devastating fire swept the Oakland Hills above San Francisco, CA, leaving one of the most desirable residential locations on America’s West Coast razed to the ground. For the Hills’ inhabitants, the total loss of homes & possessions was a nightmare; for architects it was a fantasy come true -- an empty site of unparalleled natural beauty with intelligent clients backed by generous insurance pay-outs. This book looks at how four architects -- Stanley Saitowitz, Jim Jennings, Philip Banta, & Mark Horton -- worked with their clients to produce innovative, modern single-family houses appropriate to life in CZ at the end of the 20th cent. Architectural plans & beautiful color photos.
