The architecture of 20 contemporary houses around the world explores concrete's sculptural possibilities. Robust and raw, concrete has been a rudimentary building material for centuries, but it is only relatively recently that architects have begun exploring its softer, tactile side in the design of houses. Concrete is durable, recyclable, and thermally efficient, and it goes up quickly compared to wood or metal framing. The appeal for architects, though, is its plasticity and potential for magic, making poetry out of the mundane. Witness concrete's endless form-making possibilities in this collection of contemporary homes by A-list architects in diverse locations across Japan, Australia, Spain, Brazil, South Africa, the US, and more. Exquisite color photography and plans Architects share their design approach to projects ranging from 10,000 square feet on spectacular sites, to compact urban gems. This close-up of 20 striking houses celebrates the texture and physics of a material that has long been taken for granted.

At first, the owners of the single-family home at 1102 Temperance Street simply requested the removal of an unwanted balcony. But renovations often wander in unexpected directions, and by the time the dust settles sometime later this year, Jim Spinney and Holly Ann Knott should have the first certified Passivhaus home in the province of Saskatchewan. The owners of the 1940s house on Saskatoon's east side may have had more modest ambitions at the start, but they weren't counting on the extensive structural decay that their builder, Robin Adair, uncovered as he took the balcony apart.
