Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Winner of the 2004 AIA Firm of the Year Award, Lake/Flato has been designing practical buildings since 1984. These are buildings whose ingenuity and craftsmanship merge tradition with new technologies. Their work seeks a modern vernacular yet builds upon the traditions of regional architecture by adapting local materials and craft to build well-sited structures that recognize the need for comfort and a strong connection to nature.

As William Turnbull wrote in his foreword for Lake/FlatoÆs 1996 monograph, "nothing sensual or exotic, no visual fireworks of fashion, just architecture that intrigues the mind, delights the soul, and refreshes the eye with its elegant detail and simplicity".

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful Book
Book with beautiful pictures of homes and public spaces by the architects
Lake/Flato.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love it!
The pictures, layout, descriptions and forward (by Glenn Murcutt) are all fantastic, I love this firm! Great book


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lake Flato: Buildings and Landscapes
Great book for every architect that likes contemporary architecture that is warm, inviting, and sensitive to the site


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - lake/flato: buildings & landscapes
Although I appreciate the architecture, I am very inspired by the site work included in their projects. The tight connections between indoors and out, and the sustainable approach to the site interventions - whether planting, hardscape, structures - all inspire my work. Great book!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LAKE FLATO - EYES ON THE WORLD
A remarkable volume on much more than architecture. The works of Lake Flato teach us that mankind can grace the environment when so many are bent on destroying it.
