House

Black Swan Theory

Steven Holl

House explores Steven Holl’s most recent residences and collects his best-known projects, including a total of fifteen of Holl’s residential works. Each house tackles a different design challenge, using site as the physical and metaphysical foundation upon which to build. Fusing building and situation, Holl creates a unique expression in each home.

Beautiful and innovative, the houses span the globe, ranging from a secluded location in Hawaii, to the Catskill Mountains of New York, to Martha’s Vineyard, to the Hague in the Netherlands. Each project is accompanied by Holl’s charming watercolor building studies as well as an insightful explanation of how he was inspired by the land upon which the house sits and how the sumptuous materials utilized reflect the spirit of the location.
