This book is a compilation of some of the more interesting
town houses which have been recently constructed. If we had to highlight
one characteristic from the projects presented here, it would be their ability
to make the most out of their space in such creative ways.
Within the basic typology of flat
between parallel walls, a world of possibilities open -- space full of
light, endless staircases, curtain walls, facades which spread completly
out to the street or contrarily enclosed into mysterious gardens and interior
patios. 
The play between inside and out, public and private, work space and
living space is intrinsic to the language spoken by the new town house;
a house that proposes a way of dwelling and a life style which is attractive
and wholly urban.
