A luscious survey of forty-five of the most interesting tropical houses built in south-east Asia and Australia over the last fifty years, arranged decade by decade. This stunningly illustrated volume presents forty-five of the most interesting tropical houses of the last fifty years, surveying India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and northern Australia, arranged decade by decade. Author Patrick Bingham-Hall sets the houses in context arguing that climate, colonization and modernism, as well as geo-political events since the end of World War II, and even air conditioning, have created a very specific set of circumstances and therefore houses. These are buildings with pitched roofs, broad overhangs and eaves, verandas, big doors and windows, that optimize airflow and solar orientation. Larger-than-life, open to the elements, this is soaring architecture with a strong sense of place. Bingham-Hall makes the case that this is architecture that’s environmentally attuned and innately sustainable. It’s also a book of lush, jaw-dropping houses that seamlessly blend indoor and out, in locations anyone would want to visit.

A definitive survey of the finest examples of residential architecture in Britain from 1900 to the present, featuring the major architects of the 20th century and leading emerging talents. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the architectural history and heritage of Britain. This has been driven by many important political, cultural and social factors, as well as a powerful and renewed interest in the design of house and home. The Iconic British House explores and celebrates fifty of the most architecturally significant houses from 1900 to the present. Encompassing major artistic movements, such as Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, Modernism and Postmodernism, the houses include examples designed by architects Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Edwin Lutyens, Berthold Lubetkin, Richard Rogers and many others. 21st-century innovation and imagination are evidenced in houses by established and emerging talents, such as Seth Stein, Nick Eldridge, Robin Partington and Ken Shuttleworth. Much more than a celebration of influential homes, this richly illustrated overview is also a comprehensive guide to shifting architectural movements and ideas, a survey of great architects with international relevance and a journey through changing tastes, styles, aesthetics and patterns of living.
