(More customer reviews)From the publisher: Often exuberant, spatially charged, and vividly polychromatic, as well as flat-out fun, Ace places are the antithesis of the current vogue for cool, minimal, abstract, and modern.
Ace has received a range of architectural distinctions, including awards from the Graham Foundation, American Institute of Architects, and California Preservation Foundation. The firm has twice been included in Architectural Digest's "AD 100." "

The Ten Houses series makes the most important elements of architectural design available to a large and varied audience.

These full-color, highly affordable volumes will enhance any library, providing an essential reference for architecture students and individuals looking for home design ideas.For Ace Architects, house design begins with the idiosyncrasies of their clients, including personal interests, program, site, context, and budget. They are especially interested in those occasions, often somewhat eccentric ones, which lead to the design of places intimately suited to their inhabitants and unlike all other places. They feel the best houses provoke a nearly palpable sensation of their inhabitants, even when unoccupied. Such a philosophy is illustrated in this monograph that includes ten of Ace Architects' energetic, colorful, and spatially charged residences. Ace Architects is based in Oakland, California.
