The design of private residences has its own specific challenges and peculiarities for the architect. The scale may be more modest than public works, the technical installations less complex compared to an industrial site, but the preferences, requirements, and vision of specific individuals become a priority. The delicate task is to translate the emotional associations and practical requirements of "home" into a functional, constructed reality. This publication gathers 100 of the most interesting and innovative houses designed in the last twenty years, featuring a range of talents, both new and established, such as John Pawson, Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Alvaro Siza, and Peter Zumthor. Adapting the daily routines of eating, sleeping, and shelter, as well as providing the space for personal experiences and relationships, this is architecture in its most elemental and intimate form.
