Explore the future of living spaces in Homes for Our Time, Volume II, a captivating showcase of innovative architecture shaped by climate, environment, history, and technology.
This inspiring volume highlights a global housing revolution, presenting over 60 extraordinary homes that redefine how we live in a changing world. From Palinda Kannangara’s cost-effective, floodplain-adaptable Frame Holiday Structure in Sri Lanka to Luciano Lerner Basso’s Fortunata House in Brazil, which harmonises with nature by preserving endangered trees, these designs embody sustainability and creativity. The Loom House near Seattle by Miller Hull sets a benchmark in eco-conscious renovation, using recycled materials and energy-efficient solutions to create what has been hailed as "the world's most environmentally ambitious home renovation."
Featuring homes from Vietnam, South Africa, India, China, and beyond—designed by both established and emerging architects—this book marks a shift from Western-dominated perspectives in architectural history. The designs reflect a world without a singular architectural style, embracing diversity, innovation, and sustainability.
Richly illustrated with stunning photography, detailed descriptions, and architectural drawings, Homes for Our Time offers a window into the homes of today and tomorrow. Whether modest or extravagant, each house represents not only a place to live but a vision of what’s possible. A must-have for architecture enthusiasts, this book invites readers to dream of a more beautiful, sustainable future.
