Architects' Houses
Formats & Editions
When it comes to designing their own homes, architects often see an opportunity to experiment freely with new ideas. By implementing their design theories and innovative solutions in their private residences, these projects often reveal more about the dreams and beliefs of an architect than any major career commission.
Presenting 200 such homes around the globe, ranging from mid-century to contemporary, Architects Houses allows readers to step inside the minds of those who build our world. Organized alphabetically by architect, this stunning collection showcases homes in an array of scales and styles from internationally acclaimed architects, from Frank Lloyd Wright, Lina Bo Bardi, and Charles Correa to Shohei Yoh, Deborah Berke, Ken Shuttleworth, Bjarke Ingels, and Omar Gandhi.
Each building featured includes images of the home s exterior and interior, accompanied by a brief text exploring the fascinating question of how each architect assumes the role of the client.
Featured architect Francine Houben further refects on the intersection of home and the profession, and an illustrated chronology of the homes allows readers to chart potential influences and movements, giving a compelling overview of the creative process and personal spaces of some of our greatest architectural creatives.
