American Dream : The Houses at Sagaponac: Modern Living in the Hamptons

Summary: 6 Houses under construction-one completed
Review: I purchased this book over a month ago and I have picked it up every night since. Being an architect myself, I have found the designs of these homes intriguing, and more importantly, state of the art - Not only are they creative in style but, unlike many "modern" houses of this nature - they seem very much livable. You can visit the website www.housesatsagaponac.com for more information and for updates on the project's construction - with photos.
I praise this project - Coco Brown and his "in-house team" for fighting the odds (working with all these renowned architects and the building dept cannot be easy)and realizing it - I look forward to seeing it through. By far the most avante-garde architectural project happening today.

Summary: Nothing yet built
Review: These houses are all still in the development stage, and what you get are presentatations that are reminiscent of the WTC proposals, showing the sorts of things possible with CAD programs these days. The book concentrates on these illustrations, and usually includes only a floor plan. For those with a couple million dollars to spend, it provides the lastest in cutting-edge design.
