Here is a chronicle of how four architects produced innovative, unashamedly modern single-family houses following the devastating fire that swept the Oakland Hills above San Francisco in October of 1991and left one of the most desirable residential locations on America's West Coast razed to the ground. For the Hills' inhabitants, the total loss of home and possessions was a nightmare; for architects it was a fantasy come true - an empty site of unparalleled natural beauty with open-minded clients backed by generous insurance pay-outs. This book looks at how architects Stanley Saitowitz, Jim Jennings, Phil Banta, and Mark Horton worked with clients to produce innovative modern single-family houses appropriate to life in California at the end of the 20th century. Color photos of interiors and exteriors and architectural floor plans.
