内容简介 "The New Asian Home" affirms that we have a desire to transcend our stressful world by employing Asian design concepts to make home a peaceful sanctuary. Asian design has strong appeal for those looking for "natural" alternatives to Western home standards-open floor plans, exposure of structural elements, emphasis on natural forms and materials in harmony with the site, and greater transparency between indoor and outdoor space. "The New Asian Home" features twenty-three interesting and innovative homes, including custom-built homes, modest handcrafted structures by master craftsmen, and affordable modular homes.
媒体推荐 This lavishly illustrated book features homes located throughout the United States, including Hawaii, "that represent some of the most interesting and important examples of Asian influence in the new ecology of American home design." Color photographs depict a variety of home styles, from classic interpretations of Japanese domestic architecture to Balinese pavilions.

For each of the 23 structures, design writer Langeteig describes the inhabitants' lifestyles and the aesthetic sense that made the choice of an Asian style so appealing. How the designers and architects incorporated these influences is also discussed. Included is Melody Woods III, which is completely furnished with acclaimed Japanese American woodworker George Nakashima's work. Recommended for large interior design collections.
