Architectural Record - September 2024

2024 September

A mainstay of RECORD since 1956, our annual Record Houses issue returns this September for a celebration of innovation in residential design. Located in Mexico, British Columbia, California, New York, and North Carolina, this year’s seven distinguished projects come from architects both young and established (including multiple returning Record House honorees). Elsewhere in the issue, we survey high-performance landscapes for this month’s CEU, profile revamps of art spaces in Lisbon and the French Riviera, and step inside the family compounds of two architects. And in this month’s Forum column, we assess the sobering loss of a notable Modernist house in the Hamptons.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
