The genesis, development and life-long occupation of the McIntyre house,
built in 1972 as part of a multiple-dwelling subdivision, provides
possible answers to some very pressing contemporary design questions.
How might one live near the city and be respectful of nature? How might
efficiently built dwellings also be spacious and dense site occupation
still allow for privacy? This history is recounted through text
augmented by photographs and site diagrams, house sections and plans.
They reveal a modern architecture on the west coast that resulted from
an interplay of both the physicality of the land and a culturally imbued
landscape.

After completing his Master of Architecture degree at UC Berkeley, Michael Perlmutter
moved to Sweden in 1989, working first as an architect. Five years
later Michael switched to photographing architecture, and since then he
has built a broad international photography practice with a focus mainly
on the Nordic countries. In 2001 he produced a series of photographs of
a 1930s chapel in Tallinn, which were awarded first prize in an
international photography competition. In 2007 Michael was nominated for
Sweden's prestigious August Prize for his photography in the book Den Svenska Kakelugnen
(Swedish Tile Stoves). In 2013 two of his tile stove images were issued
as Swedish postage stamps. Michael has exhibited in Stockholm and
teaches photography internationally. His work can be viewed at
