Compared with these urban enormities are private houses, such as the Laslett House in Cambridge, 1958, by the architect Trevor Dannatt, or the Winter House, designed by John Winter as his own residence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded are an extended introductory essay by acclaimed architectural journalist Jonathan Bell, former architecture editor for Wallpaper* and contributing editor at Blueprint, and projects such as those designed by renowned architect Carl Turner, responsible for the low energy Slip House, a cantilevered sculptural abode of translucent glass, steel and concrete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith images of yet to be seen interiors and restorations, The Modern House illuminates the convergent characteristics of functionalism, truth to materials, flowing space and natural light within the Modern home as a space for living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artifice Books on Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043914891504,"sku":"9781908967725","price":46.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908967725_p0.jpg?v=1763622942","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908967725","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
