Book Description

Washington, D.C.–based architect Robert M. Gurney, FAIA, designs ecologically aware modern houses using natural materials and varied construction methods. This latest volume in IMAGES’ Master Architect series features rich full-color photography and detailed drawings of almost two dozen of Gurney’s most recent projects across the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Gurney is dedicated to design of modern, meticulously detailed, thoughtfully ordered residential and commercial projects sensitive to site, program, and budget. Materials are employed with honesty, integrity, and ecological awareness. Whether working in complex historical districts or on a vacant site, the design process involves an understanding of site-specific issues of location, landscape, history, availability of materials and construction methods.
