“Building houses is an opportunity to explore what constructed form can mean in the city and the wider environment, how it involves setting up layers of privacy and public engagement, and the implications for material expression,” writes architect David Adjaye, Hon. FAIA, founder and principal of London- and New York–based Adjaye Associates, in David Adjaye: Living Spaces (Thames & Hudson, 2017). Edited by writer and curator Peter Allison, the 304-page book surveys nine examples of private spaces designed by the architect, from studios to houses, including Seven, a gallery and single-family house in Manhattan, and his LN House near his Museum of Contemporary Art Denver.
