The architects of a selection of houses recently published as Houses of the Month-the most visited feature on Architectural Record's website-will present case studies of these projects that illustrate best practices in current residential design. Topics to be covered include meeting and managing client expectations; addressing constraints of site, budget, and program; material and technology choices; and the challenges of integrating modern design into more traditional communities.
