Following on the heels of The New Wood House, THE NEW GLASS HOUSE is the second in a line of indispensable books that explore the design potential and demands of the primary materials in your home. Subsequent titles will include The New Stone House, The New Metal House, and more. THE NEW GLASS HOUSE features 13 projects from ten prominent architects, with designs both classic and cutting edge. All seek to open up the living space with creative uses of glass, while retaining the comfort and livability that define a home. The majority of the houses have not appeared in any magazine. Like the others in the series, this book is heavily illustrated with great photography, floor plans, and accessible texts that discuss the benefits and challenges of using glass, design goals, and how each home is integrated into its surrounding context. More inspirational than how-to, these books are intended to serve as resources for anyone building, renovating, or updating a home.
