Conceived as summer houses for friends and relatives of Frank's Swedish wife, the Falsterbo Villas constitute a key part of Frank's architectural work and demonstrate concerns at the core of his housing designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2016, Villa Carlsten, the smallest of the Falsterbo Villas, underwent an extensive restoration. Published on the occasion of its completion, \u003ci\u003eJosef Frank--Villa Carlsten\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to comprehensively document the building. As with all of Frank's housing designs, Villa Carlsten sees the architect paying special attention to the connection between interior and exterior, to the availability of daylight, and to inhabitants' movements throughout the home. A particular part of Villa Carlsten's charm is its scale, as everything is of smaller dimensions than one would expect. Despite its intricate layout, however, Villa Carlsten is also one of Frank's most accessible homes, and the design is full of wit, combining comfort with modern refinement. \u003cbr\u003e Beautifully designed with seventy-five full-color photographs by Mikael Olsson, who adeptly highlights the home's qualities and relationship with its surroundings, the book also includes an essay by Michael Bergquist, who realized the renovation and places Villa Carlsten in context with the other Falsterbo Villas and Frank's broader work. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Park Publishing (WI)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45029936300183,"sku":"9783038601364","price":2530.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783038601364.webp?v=1769204871","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/josef-frank-villa-carlsten-9783038601364","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
