"Wood is one of the oldest building materials employed by man, always conferring a warm character to any interior, regardless of the style. Whether in the city, amidst the mountains, on the shore of a lake or in the countryside, wood houses adopt modern and fascinating forms, often thanks to the implementation of glass and steel. Throughout 136 pages and over 140 full color photographs, Wood Houses displays a complete selection of buildings-mostly contemporary-that acquire a special charm thanks to the use of wood.
