The book is structured into three chapters: 'Houses in the City', 'Houses in the Country' and 'Places People Go To'. Stunning photography throughout, by Richard Lewisohn, not only shows the reader what the end result will be, but unusually for most architecture books, MBA is keen to show what the construction work looks like as well. This is intended to be a 'warts and all' book, unlike most titles in the genre which only show the finished project. If you are embarking on a total overhaul of a listed building, starting from scratch or just remodeling a basement, then this book will show you what to expect from the start.These are houses that are fun, quirky and above all, have a sense of humour. They are spaces you really want to eat, live or stay in. Commissions for MBA have extended far beyond the UK, with projects in France, Germany and Los Angeles in particular. Tim Boyd and Alex Michaelis run a vibrant and very busy practice.
