The Architect's House

What do architects do when they don’t have to worry about the client? For most architects, the idea of creating their own home must be considered to be one of the most pleasurable projects. Rather than simply following trends, it’s an opportunity to experiment with ideas and materials, without being limited by a brief. The Architect's House features 20 great architect designed houses for the owner/architect from around the world. The homes featured stretch the imagination, push boundaries and test new ideas or alternatively are tried architectural concepts but delivered in a new way. The book showcases a broad spectrum of properties – including townhouses, apartments, detached homes and warehouse-style conversions. Each dwelling not only captures the spirit of each architect but the local culture. Stylish and aspirational, this book is perfect for design-lovers and anyone who enjoys to peek behind the front door of sensational properties.
