Spanning continents and cultures, this book highlights an extraordinary diversity of approaches - from the refined elegance of Parisian apartments and London townhouses to the sun-drenched villas of the Mallorca and the Côte d'Azur. Coastal retreats in California and Australia, serene residences in Belgium and the Netherlands, and sophisticated urban homes in cities such as New York, Paris, Dublin, Singapore, and São Paolo all contribute to a rich and truly global narrative of contemporary living. Whether nestled along the shores of Lake Geneva, set within the landscapes of Norway, overlooking the Mediterranean, or situated in vibrant metropolitan centres such as Dubai, Bangkok, and Moscow, these homes demonstrate how design can respond to both place and lifestyle.
