Описание True Life. Steven Harris Architects

Effortless and inevitable are architect Steven Harris'
s two favorite words. With sensitivity to the surrounding landscape, Harris designs homes custom-made to his client'
s daily-lived experience. His dining rooms are not aggrandizements of tradition, they are places to eat, to gather, or even work;
his entry halls are not the primary places of arrival, but rather the final segments of a long trajectory that begins when the resident turns off the main road or exits the elevator. True Life, the firm'
s first monograph, showcases Harris'
s residential work over the past twenty-five years. Organized by the activities that propel his designs-dine, lounge, study, play, sleep, and so on-it focuses on people rather than objects. Harris'
s works are not meant to set lifestyle changes into motion, but rather to cater to those routines already in progress. Herein lies the genius of his work: Harris lets the client speak for the house, not the house for the client. A foreword by writer A.M. Homes places Harris'
s work in the context of contemporary architecture and speaks to the understated elegance of his designs.
