100 Houses (Midi Series)

About this book

If these walls could speak... The greatest challenge in designing homes is negotiating the delicate balance between aesthetics and the personal desires of the occupants. While its important for the structure to reflect the vision and style of the architect the client must ultimately feel at home beneath the roof. It is particularly interesting therefore to examine the homes that architects create for themselves. If houses reflect their owners personalities then architects own homes are like autobiographies. Location layout style lighting artwork furnishings--every detail adds color to the story. Each of these 100 dwellings presented A-Z by architect speaks more about its designer than any other building possibly could.
