Rezensionen

"What I love about the book is that he explains his process, including working with clients, city building regulations and restrictions, the evolution of the project, and what the ultimate focal point is. I didn t realize how restrictive certain areas are in the Hollywood Hills when it comes to building guidelines, but it makes sense because no one wants to lose their multimillion dollar view." WHERE ART INSPIRES BEAUTY

"We try to create spaces that are uplifting but do not dominate, strong enough to engage with the site and the landscape, but quiet enough not to get in the way of everyday life," as McClean notes in McClean Design: Creating the Contemporary House, a cool new coffee table book out this week from Rizzoli and now available on Amazon."

"In his new book, McClean Design: Creating the Contemporary House, the Irish-born architect takes us behind the scenes of twenty-four of his ultra-modern homes completed in the past fifteen years. The readeris granted access to McClean s vision for each project, from design strategies to sketches. McClean s stunningly luxurious homes grace every page of this 240-page book, allowing readers to be swept into a world of not only sleek contemporary architecture, but also of lavish features such as champagne vaults, wine cellars, cigar rooms and movie theaters."
