Today, more than ever, multifamily housing is recognised as vital to modern, urban communities. This type of housing requires immense dexterity from an architectural perspective, because while promoting a sense of community living, a sense of aesthetics must also prevail. Michael J. Crosbie has selected more than 45 remarkable examples of multifamily housing for this handsome book. Accompanied by descriptive text and vivid colour photography, these projects speak volumes for the fact that multifamily housing need not be monotonous, repetitive structures, but can indeed be visually and aesthetically pleasing fostering a delightful, communal lifestyle.
