A follow-up to Abrams' successful "Treehouse Living", "Exceptional Treehouses" includes 25 new creations by author and treehouse builder Alain Laurens. In "Exceptional Treehouses", author and treehouse builder Alain Laurens reveals thirty gorgeous treehouse structures, twenty-five of which are entirely new creations. Illustrated by Daniel Dufour's beautiful watercolours and with photographs by Jacques Delacroix, Laurens demonstrates in this book his commitment to sustainable building and environmentalism with his designs. In 2000 Laurens started his company, La Cabane Perchee, to design and build treehouses around Europe. Each house takes into account the local environment as well as the tree in which the structure stands and the photographs show details of how the treehouses are constructed without driving nails into any part of the host tree to minimize the environmental impact.

Today's kitchens, as much living and entertaining spaces as areas for preparing and cooking food, play a central role in our homes. But planning these spaces involves so many practical considerations - hygiene, storage, access and safety all need to be taken into account - that it is easy to overlook other important design aspects. And yet the fact is that this most flexible of rooms can be the perfect space into which to introduce bold shots of colour, as well as providing the opportunity to showcase some of your favourite possessions. But how do you go about achieving this? What colours will work best? What type of flooring should you have? Will a country or city style of decor fit in with the rest of the house? What about storage? Do you need a large and extendable table for frequent family gatherings? Or is it dinner for two most nights? Whether you have a small galley kitchen or a large space that you share with others, this ...

There is something special about the way that 'our' architects and designers approach house design - in the way they exploit site, location, materials and the climate to add to the ever-evolving Down Under residential vernacular.Some of the stand-out projects in this new compilation include a former petrol station in New Zealand that is now a beautiful contemporary home (complete with mechanic's bay/wine cellar!)

This wonderful monograph has been published to celebrate the important work of architecture practice, Jasmax. Jasmax had its genesis in the 1989 merger of three separate architectural practices, the oldest being Jasmad, formed in 1963. Key early Jasmad milestones were building such as International House; a raft of regional hotels and pubs, including the Rarotongan Hotel; continued work at the University of Auckland, especially the Recreation Centre; Maori and Polynesian work, and museums and cultural buildings. When Pip Cheshire joined in 1989, the practice morphed into Jasmax. Award-winning designs followed including Te Papa Tongarewa, Samoa House, the Congreve House, ASB Bank's data centre C:Drive; Vodafones's head office V.nue; the AUT Business School and the Britomart Transport Centre. The projects illustrated in this lively book are grouped loosely into four categories with matching essays: Infrastructure, Work, Culture and Home ...

Edward Hollis

The plans are drawn up, a site is chosen, and foundations are dug: a building comes into being with the expectation that it will stay put and stay for ever. But a building is a capricious thing: it is inhabited and changed, and its existence is a tale of constant and curious transformation. In this radical re-imagination of architectural history, Edward Hollis tells the stories of thirteen buildings, beginning with the 'once upon a time' when they first appeared, through the years of appropriation, ruin and renovation, and ending with a temporary 'ever after'. In spell-binding prose, Hollis follows his buildings through time and space to reveal the hidden histories of the Parthenon and the Alhambra, visiting churches that have been carried through the air by angels and ancient palaces recreated by vainglorious dictators, and exploring the monuments of our own day, from souvenir chunks of the Berlin Wall to the fibre-glass theme parks ...

looks upward once again into the canopy to present new directions in treehouse design.
