There are several factors that go into planning and building an organic house. First, a visionary owner must have the desire to design a unique home. Secondly, a visionary architect must manage to develop solutions that meet the wishes and demands of the client. They must also consider the climatic and topographic conditions. A productive cooperation must exist between the architect and the client, from the floor design to the division of the different rooms and the exterior areas. This is complemented by sustainability aspects in terms of energy generation, storage and consumption, as well as the use of natural building materials. The thirty-eight architects featured in this book are an example of the high demands placed on the construction of private residential buildings and, with over 100 projects, these architects present us with a broad spectrum of their work with plenty of room for inspiration.
