PREFACE

It has been said that a mans home is his castle.

This means many things, but at its heart is

means a persons home is so much more than a

place to sleep. A home is more than a house. Ahome is a sacred space to protect, where you

can return at the end of a difficult day and

spend long, luxurious weekends with your

family. The book is about 40 homes from around

the world that offer their inhabitants a beautiful

retreat from the stresses of the real world,

making them less like houses and more like

modern day castles.It will introduce you not only to the vast array of

beautiful homes that cover the landscape of this

marvelous world, but will also show you how

master architects, dedicated to their crafts, are

able to create these impressive structures.

While each home has its own unique features

and each is decorated and furnished to match

the unique tastes of the homes inhabitants, they

are united by the fact that they are truly

imaginative and yes, truly beautiful homes.

The architects that created these homes

sometimes worked from blank slates and other

times managed to adapt and change existing

structures and footprints into something entirely

new. But their mastery does not stop at simply

creating unique buildings. Rather, they have

built impressive clientele because they are able

to see the building as well as how it interacts

with the surrounding area. These homes truly

complement their landscapes rather than

overwhelming them, and that can make all the

difference.

Whether it is a family home nestled in a cliff that

overlooks the ocean or a cozy retreat for a

couple crafted from parts both old and new,

these houses are guaranteed to surprise and

amaze you with their creativity and charm.

Minimalist sculpture and lush landscape

harmonize bringing a natural, modern work of

artful genius to life. Designed by New York-

based Hariri & Hariri Architects, the Wilton-

Poolhouse boasts a modern aesthetic standing

polar opposite to the existing houses

traditional architecture. Yet, there flows a

conversation between the two which is both

warm and friendly.

The pool houses exotic Brazilian Walnut

faade feels charmingly nautical-like as if it

were sitting on a sunny, tropical beach.

Serendipitously, the structure seems to float like

a vessel in the blue waters of the ample-sized

pool. Rich wood floors extend out from the

interior becoming a deck which hovers over the

pool providing ample space for lounge and

play.

Tucking itself sharply inward over an outdoor

seating and lounge area with fire pit, the

houses archway frames the natural beauty

beyond. Opposite, an inviting spa and showerenclosed in a wall of mossy green mosaic tiles

give the place a touch of color and texture.

Sliding metal and glass panels enclose the

houses interior, which boasts a comfortable yet

minimalistic living area, full kitchen, bar and

bathroom, while keeping an openness between

indoors and out.

Sitting along the street in the space-challenged

town of Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Casa V4 makes

use of every inch of the city lot it resides on.

The modern house, designed by architect

Studio MK27, brings new life to the classic

courtyard through a clever L-shaped floor plan.

The house blends beautifully with the

surrounding garden neighborhood, almost

disappearing when viewed from the street.

With its sprawling ground-floor design, the

home retractable glass doors along its axis

which allow a feeling of unity between the front

garden, common living spaces and back patio.

While the main rooms of the house remain open

to the nature beyond, privacy for bedrooms

and baths are provided by a light wood

cladding.

The garden homes furnishings promote a

warmth and welcome feel with a collection of

mid-century modern furniture. Large area rugs

add texture and comfort to the harsh concrete

floors while the wood cladding warms the wallsbetween glass and concrete. Interior lights are

plentiful as are exterior garden spotlights that

bring a magical glow to the courtyard during

the nighttime hours. The Casa V4 seems as if it

were delicately inserted into its natural

surroundings.
