The definitive collection of residential work by celebrated contemporary architect Tom KundigTom Kundig is one of the most sought-after architects working today, known for his extraordinary houses that deeply engage with their surrounding environment. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Kundig’s international portfolio includes homes built into rocky sites, dynamic kinetic devices that open walls and roofs, and even moving architecture that travels via railroad track. Spanning nearly four decades of design, Tom Kundig: Complete Houses presents 462 residential projects together for the first time. This richly illustrated 600-page book is both a comprehensive overview of the architect’s career to date and an intimate, personal exploration of his creative practice. The book invites readers to explore 38 of Kundig’s remarkable residences in-depth, each brought to life through original interviews with Kundig, portfolios of his hand-drawn sketches, and stunning photography. Beautifully designed, with a striking cloth-bound cover enveloped in a bespoke slipcase, this monumental volume is an inspirational resource and testament to Kundig’s extraordinary vision as an architect.
