A nice copy of this volume, with the best typographic jacket design of any Postwar American Residential Architecture anthology.
9 x 12 book with 190 pages and 285 black and white photos and 100 floorplans and diagrams of designs for 90 contemporary homes, organized in three sections: one-bedroom homes; two-bedroom homes; and homes with three or more bedrooms. Index of architects, designers, and locations. This book spotlights some of the lesser-known structures of the period, thus supplying a more unique perspective than similar volumes that tend to showcase the iconic residences.
