In addition to an incredible collection of outstanding photographs of
the House of Light, this book tells the story of how this project
proceeded from spatial criteria to conceptual design and final
realisation. It also tells the story of how Peter and Kay Nosler
progressed from a wonderful contemporised craftsman-style home that they
built in the 90s and moving forward to a notable contemporary design.
As one writer about the house put it: "Label it magical." Like many
American cities residential neighbourhoods are often encountered where
there is house after house, new or old, that embodies very traditional
design ideas. So, here is an example in a traditional neighbourhood with
small lots and a striking contemporary house appears. Of course, some
of the neighbours are aghast and others are delighted. And a movement
has begun. In the multi-block neighbourhood where the House of Light was
the first there are now three more contemporary homes. Diversity is
truly exciting.
