Book Review: Cutler Anderson Architects / The Houses




This is a fantastic monograph featuring projects from one of my favorite residential architecture firms, Cutler Anderson Architects. I was particularly enthralled by this book considering I was reading it while in the process of designing a house with my wife for some land we purchased on Bainbridge Island - also home to the firm. 

The combination of beautiful photography, drawings, and project descriptions was perfect as inspiration for our house project. If you are interested in residential design, are working on a house project, or love seeing beautiful homes that are designed to weave into the natural environment, I highly recommend picking up this book

About Cutler Anderson Architects:

Since its founding in 1977, Cutler Anderson Architects has evolved to understand that the ultimate objective of any architectural design is to reveal what is true about all of the circumstances of a project. From place to program, from materials to shape, all components need to be understood and designed into a harmonious whole that reveals each component’s nature. This genuinely rigorous task has been both the focus and the intellectual stimulant of our practice and, it is hoped, will continue to be our passion in the future. | This single-minded attitude has led to successful and award winning projects on three continents. The firm’s staff of fourteen is currently engaged in both residential and commercial projects throughout ten states, plus Poland and the Czech Republic. | Our ultimate goal on every project is to produce projects that are not only beautiful but also emotionally enlightening.
