Inspired by Place by Chase Reynolds Ewald gives us a richly-textured, visually appealing presentation of residential designs which are influenced by the dramatic landscapes in which they are set. As much as I can appreciate a traditional western home a la The Ponderosa, these are not one of them. Instead, we see utterly clean lines and finishes; interactive yet separate spaces; a warmth that comes from natural lightness and brightness; and walls and fenestration which incorporate rather than separate the interior vistas with the awe-inspiring views outside. The occupants are part of their environs instead of being isolated from them. While the floor plans reflect modern tastes in functionality and features, the structures themselves are timeless in the way they fit into the contours and substance of their surroundings. A beautiful book. --Kimberlee J Benart for Readers' Favorite Ten very powerful wood and stone houses, presented in the fullest color and in the fullest natural context. --Peter Miller ...the firm makes some of the best modern houses in the American West. These are houses that nestle into their sites and capably take advantage of the jaw-dropping scenery that is beautifully captured in big photographs in this large-format monograph. The eleven houses in the aptly titled Inspired by Place are primarily documented by glossy color photographs; each project has around forty pages, with all but six of those pages (text, plans, inspiration images) comprised of photos. -- A Daily Dose of Architecture
