A selection of 20 houses by Patrick Tighe shows the range of his work, which are all linked by location on the west coast. To build a home is perhaps the most primal form of architecture. A place of complete particularity to human existence, houses both influence and incubate individuality. This selection of 20 houses by Patrick Tighe shows a diverse spectrum of work, all tied by a shared occupation of the west coast. His work highlights the dramatic variance that can exist within residential architecture, how each project has been approached organically and intuitively but held by the familiar siting among the ‘smoke and goldenness of the late afternoon of time’.Tighe worked in the offices of Frank Gehry and Thom Mayne and is currently a professor at the University of Southern California.
