Fusing building and situation, Holl creates a unique expression in each home. Each house tackles a different design challenge, using site as the physical and metaphysical foundation upon which to build. Rather than having an unvarying style, these houses aim at the sometimes elusive ideal of the specific. House brings us up-to-date on Holl's most recent residences and collects his best-known projects from the past including a total of fifteen of Holl's residential works. Sequels to AnchoringIntertwining and Parallaxchronicled Holl's work from the period 1988 to 1995. Indeed, in 2001, Time magazine called Holl "America's Best Architect for 'buildings that satisfy the spirit as well as the eye.'" This philosophy helped to create some of the richest and most celebrated buildings of the past several decades. Since then, Holl has become one of the most famous and highly regarded architects in the world through his award-winning residential and institutional work his teaching, writings, and drawings and his persistent vision of an architecture that takes into consideration its place, time, and all the senses of the viewer. In 1989, Princeton Architectural Press published Anchoring, the first book on the work of the then up-and-coming architect Steven Holl.
