If, like me, you take a vicarious interest in other people's houses, then this book will provide the perfect eye candy for you, and satisfy your peeping tom instincts in the politest possible way.
A gamut of fine homes is showcased here, from hillside holiday residences to contemporary city apartments and sprawling villas with a view, all splendidly photographed.
As for the text, this is not a collection of your average breezy magazine pieces, but rather a deep dive into each architect's practice, with accompanying sketches, work-in-progress photographs and blueprints. Usefully, detailed introductions to the architects and their studios precede each of the showcased homes.
