- 摘要: As Chief Executive at Foster & Partners, Graham Phillips has had responsibility for the design and construction of some of the world's most iconic buildings. But it was a small house in the fields of Buckinghamshire that sent him back to the drawing board, and to his investigations as a student into "a search for form". Skywood has been called a house that "offers a masterclass in architecture's power to excite and inspire". It also became a favoured setting for television and film producers: it is known as the 'Va Va Voom' house for its appearance in the 2005 Renault Clio advertisement featuring football star Thierry Henry. This book offers a uniquely in-depth view of Skywood, and places it alongside Phillips's other residential projects. Texts by Phyllis Richardson, Kenneth Powell, and Graham Phillips accompany evocative photography, plans, and working drawings. These illustrations, combined with Graham Phillips's explanation of his own design philosophy, give both a full and intimate portrait of the creation of the iconic building.

Skywood has been called a house that turns lifestyle into a work of art and one that offers a masterclass in architectures power to excite and inspire. As a structure, it reflects rigour and attention to detail, attributes that its creator, Graham Phillips, credits both to his time at Foster & Partners, and to his experiences of buildings he loves, from Mies van der Rohes Barcelona Pavilion and Luis Barragáns house in Mexico City, to the serene composition of Japanese gardens. Skywood House garnered immediate acclaim from the architectural and popular press. It also became a favoured setting for television and film producers, who found in its pure form and exquisite geometries the perfect backdrop for an array of dramatic scenarios. Known as the Va Va Voom house for its appearance in the 2005 Renault Clio television advert featuring the football titan Thierry Henry, Skywood continues to attract a popular and critical audience. And Phillipss further projects, carried out as an independent architect, resonate with the same sense of precision and elegance.
