Description:

The best architects are often defined by a singular residential commission-for example, Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright or the Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe. In Richard Meier's case, the Grotta House is the culmination of the styles and techniques that can be found in the best of his work. Designed and constructed in the second half of the 1980s, the house also exhibits the Grottas' exceptional collection of crafts and furniture. This book, which includes a very candid interview with the Grottas as well as detailed photography and text commenting on every nook in the residence, is essential reading for the modern architect or anyone who aspires to commission a house.
