Dream Homes

Overview

Dream Homes is a book of over 1000 photographs of luxurious primary residences as well as vacation properties in all sizes, styles, and function imagined and designed by leading architects across the country. Dream Homes presents these homes in nine functional chapters: Single family homes (both large and small), urban residences, sustainable, waterfront, mountain, desert, farm/ranch, and future homes. Within each chapter there are homes from modern to traditional, each presented with the architect's point of view to the motivations, challenges, techniques and/or materials used that make the home one-of-a-kind. Our country is a wonder of topographic and climatic diversity. The choice to build in a bustling city—from Los Angeles to New York—or a more remote destination in the mountains, desert, suburbs, or coastal regions, certainly affects the design. But within that framework, the sky is the limit, and the creative professionals whose architecture is presented herein are masters of discovering the possibilities, zeroing in on the important elements of their clients, being ecologically friendly, and inventing the unique, timelessly crafted envelopes that people call home.
