He provides an incisive analysis of the site-specific elements, key environmental factors of the landscape design, the use of spatial visualisations, light, sustainability, and materials, and other critical design features of each home. He expertly articulates and examines the relationships between the architecture and the intentions of the design for the people who live there, taking into account how the architecture affects human behaviour, what enhances the success of the design of each home in this collection, with an overview of current industry trends, and where to next for residential design innovation.
