Skizzen für Wohn- und Landhäuser, Villen etc. hauptsächlich Holzarchitekturen
An 1900 German sketchbook of studies for residential houses, country houses and villas, mainly timber architecture, by Jacques Gros, published by Maier and held by the ETH-Bibliothek. The pictures are grey-toned pen-and-wash drawings of wooden villas shown rotated sideways on the page, with steep roofs, dormers, balconies and spires. A designer could draw on their vernacular timber detailing, sloping roof forms and asymmetric massing for domestic or rustic designs.
