Featuring twenty architects from around the world, The Architect's House will truly inspire those contemplating building a new home or renovating an older style of residence to take on adventurous spirit. At a time when people are being cautious, both in terms of finances and ideas, they will find inspiration to go above and beyond the prosaic or not simply to chase the idea of a home with only resale value in mind. The properties featured here are diverse - from apartments through to large detached homes surrounded by hectares of native forest. However, what 'stitches' them together is the architects' determination to create homes that perfectly suit the way they choose to live, both in the present and in the future. And because the projects don't follow trends but beautifully capture the 'voice' of the owners, they remain timeless.

Amelia ★★★★★

Twenty architects, twenty totally different approaches to a home, and I kept dog-earing pages before I'd even finished the first chapter. The mix of floor plans and lived-in interiors makes it easy to picture your own renovation instead of just admiring someone else's.

Brian T. ★★★★★

The photos of the older house renovations are what sold me — seeing how twenty different architects worked within existing walls gave me actual ideas for our kitchen. It's more inspiration than instruction, but that's exactly what I wanted.

Stella G. ★★★★★

I bought this while planning a renovation and ended up reading the profiles of all twenty architects in one sitting. The range of homes covered, from compact city plots to rural retreats, gave me way more ideas than I expected.
