HOUSES of WILLIAM WURSTER Frames for Living BOSTROM / PETERS Hardcover VERY GOOD Stunningly First Edition/First Printing! “Over a career that spanned forty-five years, William Wilson Wurster (1895-1973) designed hundreds of residences up and down the West Coast. Like Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, with whom Wurster maintained a close professional exchange, Wurster blends modernism with the vernacular. Wurster described these homes as "frames for living": spaces that could be fully transformed by the occupant to meet their needs and desires. The Houses of William Wurster: Frames for Living draws upon extensive historical research as well as personal relationships between authors Caitlin Lempres Brostrom, Richard C. Peters and Wurster to tell the story of his residential career. The book features thirty-three of the architect’s best-known houses, including the Church House, Kenyon Cottage Apartments, Dondo House, Heller House, and the Baer House. Many of these projects are shown in color for the first time, with stunning photographs by Ezra Stoller, Roger Sturtevant, Marley Baer, and Richard Barnes.
