In this volume that Architects 49's residential design philosophy is not avant-garde, neither is form used as a super-concept. All the houses in this book represents the firm's core belief in an architecture which serves its purpose. The answer created to the specific demands of the inhabitants and specific geographical and climatic concerns. There are no external ideas or concepts leading the houses to their form and spatial organization. But rather the architecture stems from the climate, the strong tropical hot sun and the rain, the site's terrain and surroundings, and the way of life, aesthetic tastes, beliefs and dreams of the inhabitants. But is that it? Isn't there any other special 'ingredient' which sets these Architects 49 houses apart from the rest? To say these houses are designed to 'follow function' may sound cliche. A closer analysis of these houses reveals that such an aphorism might not be too far from the truth. In fact Architects 49 has taken this idea to the extreme. In each house, not only have the designers provided for the client's spatial requirements, they also paid considerable attention to the details of each and every specific activity - EXTREME FUNCTIONALISM. With that in mind all the houses featured in this book are conceivably poetic functions of the sun, the wind, the land and the lives that go on in and around them - nothing more, nothing less.
