"Volume 3: Bay Area Modern" is the third in a series of compilations featuring contemporary houses by in-D media. Featured on this CD-ROM are four houses by four of the most thoughtful and provocative architects working in the Bay Area today.
The Kuhling Wilcox House by Anne Fougeron is a study in surfaces, light and tectonics. She cites Pierre Chareau's Maison de Verre in Paris as a standard in architecture, and here, certainly, that standard has been embraced.
The Oliver House by Jim Jennings is a museum in a home. Its formal composition and grand aura reads museum while the delicate detailing of materials and spatial organization gives it the warmth and intimacy of a home.
The Anderson Ayers House by Fernau & Hartman continues the Northern California tradition of Maybeck but adds a playful casualness in compositions, colors, and materials that makes it a thoroughly modern, yet unpretentious and comfortable home.
The Kohavi House Robert Swatt is undoubtedly inspired by the works of R.M. Schindler. The forms, materials and relationship of indoor and outdoor spaces exudes the spirit of Schindler's finest residences. These houses all represent highly unique approaches in addressing single family residences in urban, suburban and semi-rural environments.
