本书介绍了由屡获殊荣的新西兰建筑师安德鲁·帕特森设计的一系列美丽的房子，坐落在世界上令人惊叹的风景之中。

在毛利人文化中，建筑被视为一种信仰的构建。这些素材是新西兰建筑师安德鲁·帕特森(Andrew Patterson)设计项目背后的灵感来源。帕特森在新西兰从事房屋和市政项目设计已有30多年。

这本书展示了帕特森最近的14所房子，既提供了一个壮观的住宅概述，也提供了一个通过新西兰的摄影之旅，包括从惊人的海景再回到山区的小屋。每一栋房子都揭示了帕特森的建筑如何讲述着这个国家的文化历史，创造出一种地方感和归属感。本书穿插了一些主题部分，展示了帕特森的主要影响，如新西兰的文化和生活方式，以及毛利建筑、艺术和神话。

A selection of beautiful houses set amid the world’s most stunning landscapes, designed by award-winning New Zealand architect Andrew Patterson.

In Maori culture, architecture is approached as a construction of beliefs: a building must emulate and amplify personalities, hopes, and aspirations, becoming a physical expression of those who inhabit it. These ideas and others are the inspirations behind the design projects of New Zealand architect Andrew Patterson, who has been designing houses and civic projects in the country for over thirty years.

This book showcases fourteen of Patterson’s recent houses, offering both an overview of the spectacular homes and a photographic journey through New Zealand from stunning seascape retreats to mountain cabins. Each house reveals how Patterson’s architecture responds to the region’s breathtaking landscape―telling the story of the country’s cultural history and creating a sense of place and belonging. This volume is interspersed with thematic sections that present Patterson’s key influences, such as the culture and lifestyles of New Zealand, and Maori architecture, art, and mythology.
