Stephan Maria Lang is a proponent of the slow architecture movement. He is exceptionally good at engaging with the special atmosphere of a place and matching it with his clients' personalities. The diverse and individual nature of Lang's work is presented in the impressive pictorial composition of this book.
Lang designs homes that mirror the inhabitants' souls, and thus his work takes on a remarkable diversity. From the California residence, which conveys the leisureliness of a holiday home on the American West Coast, to the lakefront Alpine Highway, for which Lang restored the surrounding land to its natural state, the homes reveal new facets and charming hidden details, surprising vistas, the interplay of shadow and light, and the integration of landscape, garden and interior decoration. These homes also change over time, which allows them to radiate life. This volume presents a selection of projects completed by Lang between 2004 and 2011. This is an impressive pictorial introduction to Lang's vintageinspired, state-of-the-art architectural work.
