Few architecture firms in Europe have approached the villa as a building type with such consistent formal rigor as Stuttgart-based Alexander Brenner Architects. Renowned for their designs featuring plastic-geometric facades reminiscent of constructivist tableaux, the firm has established a reputation for taking a holistic approach to architectural design. This approach extends to every aspect of the building, from the interior to the kitchen, cupboards, and other built-in furniture, all receiving the same meticulous attention to detail as the exterior. Complementing these architectural masterpieces are surrounding gardens with curved, sensual forms that contrast the bright white cubic sculptures of Brenner's designs.

This new monograph, a follow-up to two previous successful volumes published in 2011 and 2015, showcases five buildings realized between 2015 and 2021, including the architect's own home in Stuttgart, the Brenner Research House. These buildings are documented in rich detail through striking photography, standardized plans, visualizations, and concise texts. An essay by Alexander Brenner rounds out this volume, serving as a source of inspiration for anyone with an interest in residential architecture.

Published in both English and German, this monograph offers a comprehensive exploration of Alexander Brenner Architects' exceptional work, making it a valuable resource for architects, designers, and enthusiasts alike.
