Asian design has strong appeal for those looking for "natural" alternatives to Western home standards-open floor plans, exposure of structural elements, emphasis on natural forms and materials in harmony with the site, and greater transparency between indoor and outdoor space. The New Asian Home features twenty-three interesting and innovative homes, including custom-built homes, modest handcrafted structures by master craftsmen, and affordable modular homes.
Project locations include: San Francisco, CA Princeton, NJ Telluride, CO Napa Valley, CA Salem, MA Oahu, HI Milbrook, NY Santa Barbara, CA Long Island, NY Mt. Rainier, WA Puget Sound, WA

 Fresh Asian ideas.Oct 31, 2008
By MLFountain
I borrowed this book from my library and loved it so much I bought it. Although most of the homes are actually in the USA there were plenty of details in the styling that gave me inspiration.

 includes a Maya Lin apartment design!Oct 09, 2009
By o-namae desu
Just a note to point out that photos of Maya Lin's apartment design are in this book, though not mentioned in the keywords or the blurb. Also I believe prominent woodworker Len Brackett is not mentioned above either, though his own house is in the first pages.
