Designing modern homes across the Asia region comes with many different and varied challenges, from extreme heat and humidity, to cyclonic rain and winds, and even snow and earthquakes.
This stunning edition showcases recent award-winning designs for houses in Asia, with details of how each architect met the various challenges faced, and how they responded to the various requirements imposed by the site's environment or local culture. Beautifully presented with full-colour images of award-winning architecture, the selection of houses provides a wealth of information: from how to design a multi-generation home to best practice for keeping the interior cool during the heat.
This curated list of the best new and contemporary examples of modern designer houses in Asia charts important trends in modernity while providing an important guide to how architects meet the challenges, and forming an important reference guide.
