Tropicality: Houses by Andra MatinFrom a house elevated on stilts that’s completely open to the outdoors, to one topped with a giant, overhanging concrete roof, to a hexagonal weekend villa hidden among the trees, these are homes that will delight and inspire anyone with an interest in beautiful spaces.Working in a tropical climate in a huge country where the architecture scene is often overlooked, Andra Matin has come to redefine indoor-outdoor living. His work is widely admired across the region, but many of his projects have rarely been seen. Matin's novel approach, revealed here in his first English-language monograph, has much to teach—especially as it continues to gain momentum and relevance in a warming world.
