First detailed documentation of Josef Frank’s
Villa Carlsten in Falsterbo, Sweden
Villa Carlsten is a key example of Frank’s
carefully conceived housing designs
A concise essay puts the house in context with
Frank’s other architectural work
Between 1924 and 1936, Austrian-born architect Josef Frank built five holiday homes
on the Falsterbo Peninsula in southern Sweden. They constitute a key part of Frank’s
architectural work and demonstrate concerns at the core of his housing designs. Villa
Carlsten, the smallest of the Falsterbo houses, underwent an extensive restoration in
2016–18.
This book documents the building in detail through a concise essay, placing it in context
with the other Falsterbo Villas and Frank’s broader work, and full-color photographs
that highlight the house’s qualities and relationship with its surroundings.

An unconventional building monograph
documenting reconstruction of a theater
building in Cachan near Paris
Features previously unpublished plans and
design sketches and a graphic short story
With newly commissioned photographs by
French photographer Cyrille Weiner
In Cachan, a suburb south of Paris, Ateliers O-S Architectes was commissioned with
transforming a local theater building, built in the early 20th century, into a thriving
cultural center. The commission went well beyond merely rebuilding and modernizing
an existing structure. Rather, the firm was tasked with creating an entirely new neighborhood.
Lever de Rideau presents the creation of Cachan’s new Jacques Carat Theater. Designed
to mimic a theater program, the book brings together short essays and interviews,
portraits of key protagonists, a graphic short story, and ample illustrations
including photographs as well as plans and design sketches.
