Steven Holl: Seven Houses

Steven Holl
This book takes a close look at seven houses designed by Steven Holl, considered one of America's most influential architects. It offers the reader unprecedented access to the thought processes and work of this groundbreaking, cutting-edge architect through his own words and watercolours – and more than 100 photographs.

This volume features seven of his residential houses and looks at his approach to modernist suburban residences, including two new homes finished in 2017. Viewed as a collection, these houses serve to demonstrate the wide range of Holl's prodigious genius through lavish and striking photographs as well as Holl's own descriptions. Considered one of America's most important architects, Holl is recognised for his ability to blend space and light with great contextual sensitivity and to utilise the unique qualities of each project to create a concept-driven design. Time magazine declared Holl "America's Best Architect" for his "buildings that satisfy the spirit as well as the eye."

Following the successful Oscar Niemeyer Houses, Tadao Ando Houses, and Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses, this book features private residences by acclaimed architect Steven Holl, including four new houses built in the past five years, and many published here for the first time. The book will serve as a companion to his previous Rizzoli book Steven Holl: Architecture Spoken.
