| Summary: | A black house commands attention. Black adds drama, sophistication and edginess to residential architecture. In Modern Houses in Black, Susan Redman explores the trend in black house design through a curated collection of 28 residential properties across the world. Illustrated with striking images of houses sited in both urban settings and remote rural landscapes, the book features bespoke residences confidently displaying their dark exteriors, making a bold statement wherever they are located. By including interviews with architects who explain their design choices for structure and materiality, from black-stained or burnt wood and metal cladding to black glazed brickwork and tinted concrete, Redman provides insights for current developments in the trend. The houses featured will appeal to lovers of distinctive design, particularly to those who appreciate both the elegance and daring that black offers modern residential architecture. |
