This book provides a concise overview of the best contemporary houses from around the world. It covers a wide range of housing types built by established architects, such as Shigeru Ban, John Pawson and Kengo Kuma, alongside emerging architectural talents. This book looks at the best houses of the twenty-first century. Focusing on privately commissioned homes, this is a well-informed survey of the best residential architecture to be built in recent years. Selected from Phaidon's extensive research into contemporary global architecture, each project is given two double page spreads with a selection of images showing every aspect of the building, accompanied by an engaging and informative text about the house and its context.
