"Architects' Houses" offers an insight into how contemporary Australian architects live in the homes they have designed specifically for themselves and their family: from warehouses to apartments, from an entirely new build to a substantial renovation. In the absence of a traditional "client" and a formal brief, architects can be truly adventurous, exploring groundbreaking, unconventional ideas and materials when designing their own houses. In this lavishly photographed book, Stephen Crafti reveals the fascinating details of the design and building processes involved. What challenges did the architects face? Were there compromises along the way? What discoveries were made? For those of us looking to realise our own dream homes, the insights and journeys of some of Australia's leading architects offer fresh ideas to capture our imaginations and encouragement to test our own boundaries.
