Average Customer Ratings:

Every architect dreams of a perfect client, and every client dreams of a perfect architect. Alas, these relationships don't always work out to everyone’s expectations. But when they do—when there are shared ideas and the communication flows—the results can be spectacular. The New Modern House features forty new buildings where the synergy between the right designer and the right client resulted in works that surpass everyone's expectations.

The book is divided into five thematic chapters—conditions, materials, environment, budget, and aesthetics—and each contain eight case studies. These include Rafael Viñoly's Piano House in New York; Sean Godsell's Peninsula House in Australia; and Ahadu Abaineh's Tree House in Ethiopia, among others.

Beautifully produced, The New Modern House captures these noteworthy designs with a wealth of color photography, plans, and drawings, and makes an ideal book for anybody dreaming of the perfect house.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Good not great -
It's fun to look at nice houses on the cutting edge of design and this book contains plenty of those. The downside is that you don't get to see each house in much detail and the book contains a number of concept houses that are just mock-ups and haven't been built.

Very pretty to look at, but practical? -
I was somewhat disappointed as a current homeowner and builder of a new contemporary home, I (like many people) was trying to get ideas. This is more of a text book for architecture students, showing them the far reaches of art. Very little ideas could be had as far as conceptually and practicly speaking...

Mielda mano que loquera !! -

JE JE .. kkkkkkkkk

MODERN ARCHITECTURE -
Mr. Jones really needs to give his photographer a bonus because his images really make this book, not that the text is not well thought and out and researched. Most of these homes are just spectucular, I love the use of glass, steel, and rich woods, it's so clean and elegant. You really come away with a new appreciation of current architectural styles as you puruse this wonderful book. Frankly, I could not live in many of these homes, but all of them radiate beauty and inovation. Highly recommended, if for no other reason than to get some ideas for your own home, uh, but you better have some stock in Apple.

Contemporary and very different modern designs by top designers and firms -
Contemporary and very different modern designs by top designers and firms are the profile of Will Jones' The New Modern House, which packs in color photos of all kinds of structures, from seaside homes to complex, multifaceted layouts for flat landscapes. Accompanying discussions survey architectural intentions and design options, but it's the photos which capture attention.
