EFH


This comparative study examines single-family homes through an approach inspired by the typological works of Bernd and Hilla Becher. The houses were photographed under largely consistent conditions to allow for direct visual comparison. While the buildings share similar scales and broadly comparable forms, their juxtaposition reveals a nuanced range of variation in architectural expression.

The deliberately prosaic title of the series, EFH, derives from the German term Einfamilienhaus (single-family home). It references the commonplace practice of architectural offices to condense project names into three-letter acronyms, thereby underscoring both the ordinariness and systematic framing of the subject.
