The Monocle Book of Homes, published by Thames & Hudson, offers inspiration and new perspectives on living and housing: the book reflects on what makes a home good. Compiled by the editorial team of the British lifestyle magazine Monocle, the book moves from the grassroots to wider perspectives – its scale extends from individual homes to entire neighbourhoods. The exceptionally rich illustrations and photographs focus on both details and the larger picture.
Good homes are places where lives can unfold, families grow up, dogs jump on sofas, friends share your hospitality. 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.
