Make yourself at home. This title features cutting-edge private dwellings. Beyond the fundamental notion of shelter, what defines a house? The broad-ranging selection of extraordinary dwellings in the "Architecture Now! Houses" series shows the concept to be infinitely malleable: one house seems to hover above the ground, another is embedded in it; some have stark minimal lines, others have tropical gardens; some are palatial, others monastic - all of them displaying remarkable structural and aesthetic mastery. From postmodern castles to hi-tech cabins, the "Architecture Now! Houses" series is a connoisseur's choice of the world's most remarkable new houses. "Architecture Now!
