Exceptional Single Family Homes

This title presents an international selection of single-family properties, from environments as diverse as rural villages, city centres, low-density suburbs and areas of natural isolation. These entail a great variety of structural, design and construction solutions and a range of materials and techniques, providing the book with a rich blend of technical data.

17 projects from around the world include Ryue Nishizawa's Moriyama House (Japan), TVH Arkitekten's Archipelago House (Sweden) and Dominic Stevens' Mimetic House (Ireland). They are documented in a wealth of detail including plans from every angle and full construction briefs.

About the Author

Conchi Monzonis

Editorial Pencil produces technical publications, especially directed to the sectors of architecture and construction. Thanks to a team of architects that forms part of our organisation, we can perform an exhaustive analysis, of the design work and of the information received from architecture studios that collaborate with us.

The principles which sustain the meticulous and careful edition of our books are the following:

1. The selection of participating projects.

2. The request of necessary information for a better comprehension of the project, from its conception to its materialisation.

3. A detailed study of each project.

4. Processing of the information received (graphics, line weight, scale) for a better presentation of the project.

5. A comprehensive layout, where images and plans are combined, making for a clearer understanding of the project.

6. The experience of a design team in the final composition, where page by page, the work is translated into a cohesive and ordered publication.

7. High quality printing and binding.
