Homes For Our Time - Contemporary Houses around the World
Discover the world’s most stunning private homes. From coastal retreats to forest hideaways, this global survey celebrates over 50 exceptional new homes from around the world—each uniquely crafted, yet united by a harmony with their surroundings.
Showcasing architectural talents like Shigeru Ban, MVRDV, and Marcio Kogan, alongside rising stars such as Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia, Desai Chia, and Shunri Nishizawa, this collection spans continents—from Vietnam and India to Ecuador and New Zealand.
Highlights include Kamal Malik’s House of Three Streams in India, a flowing blend of steel, glass, and stone perched above forested ravines; the minimalist Seaside House by Shinichi Ogawa in Japan, merging sea and sky; and House in Chau Doc in Vietnam, a tropical haven of bamboo, concrete, and greenery.
Organized by architect and filled with crisp photography and plans, this volume offers an inspiring look at how contemporary homes reflect place, purpose, and imagination.
