A publication on British architects Alison and Peter Smithson, focusing on the design process of “Hexenhaus,” one of the notable houses of the late 20th century. It carefully traces how a rural dwelling in the forests of Hesse, Germany, was gradually transformed. In collaboration with Axel Bruchhäuser of the furniture company Tecta, the project evolved through small extensions, furniture design, and reconsideration of spatial circulation, reshaping the relationship between the house and its surroundings. The book also includes 99 handwritten postcards exchanged during the process, offering an intimate glimpse into the accumulation of ideas and time behind the project.
