An outstanding contribution to a classic building type: the contemporary villa, with a congenial book design by a leading Australian design practice, emerystudio.
The giant architectural practices that set the pace today rarely have the capacity to devote their attention to a single house. This collection of six houses is the product of the partners of Denton Corker Marshall, an architectural practice that over the past 40 years has built on the largest scale across Asia, Australia and Europe.
They have designed representational buildings such as embassies and law courts. They have built skyscrapers, conceived masterplans and created landmarks and landscapes. They have built museums, war memorials, convention centres, and hotels. Works such as the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, the Melbourne Museum and Embassies in Beijing, Tokyo and Jakarta demonstrate the practice’s significant contribution to the global architectural scene, but – as they say of themselves – from time to time they enjoy the opportunity to design houses.
