Simplistic, modernistic, utiliarian and chic. This volume brings together case studies on four small constructions by Laurent Vuilleumier and Paul Humbert ('LVPH'), a two-man architectural firm whose offices are based in Fribourg and Pampigny. They specialise in intelligently developed building types that are both spatially aware and aesthetically pleasing. The erections in this volume include miniature houses in a park, with a ground plan of 5.5 x 5.5 metres; a visually poetic group of three small homes, and a barn conversion, which is due to become a fully functional and highly attractive residential building. AUTHOR: Heinz Wirz is the founder of Quart Architecture. His dedicated documentation of the architectural profession is widely celebrated, both in Switzerland and abroad. He is known for highlighting the best young architects in the business, treating every firm with the same respect. 40 colour
