They should also be places where you can find some solitude a quiet corner to read a book, have a Saturday afternoon nap. In short, they need to be able to sustain you, inspire you and tell your story thanks to their architecture, use of materials and contents.<br/><br/>These are the attributes that Monocle has always celebrated when covering residences in its design and architecture pages whether featuring a city bolthole, a modernist seaside residence or a summer outpost in a forest. Now Monocle is bringing this all together in one book that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighbourhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many. Monocle has also recruited key thinkers, writers and designers to share their perspectives in a series of fascinating essays.<br/><br/><i>The Monocle Book of Homes</i> is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and also offers a focus on the smallest details. This is a book that could change how you live.
