Take an inspiring glimpse into seven residences designed by Mark English Architects that celebrate the Californian landscape and relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Mark English Architects believes every home is a prototype, developed in collaboration with the client, landscape, topography, climate, and cultural considerations. In Situ: Unique Homes Crafted for California Living provides an inspiring glimpse into seven residences designed by Mark English, along with a close examination of the firm's design approach. Landscape and climate play a vital role in every project, with buildings and spaces designed to celebrate their California location, whether it's the city, coast, or mountains. Each residential design is a sensitive and creative response to the site and environment and reflects the firm's inherent understanding of the Golden State's relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The practice draws on the California vernacular of open-plan living, light-filled spaces, and natural materials to blur the boundaries of inside and outside and embeds every design with a layer of artistry to create meaningful homes for their residents. This beautifully illustrated monograph features color photography, renders, plans, drawings, scale models and site photographs that showcase Mark English Architects' design and construction process and reveal how these unique homes are crafted for California living.
