Vintage hardback book, Architectsâ Dream Houses by Jean-Claude Delorme, with photography by Thibaut Cuisset, published by Abbeville Press in 1996. First English edition, 192 pages.
âIn this sumptuously illustrated volume, Jean-Claude Delorme explores ten extraordinary homes conceived and built by visionary architects for their own private lives. Each house stands as a complete expression of personal ideologyâfrom Sir John Soaneâs richly layered London residence to Antonio GaudĂâs dreamlike palace and Charles Rennie Mackintoshâs Hill House, pictured on the cover. These spaces defy convention and embrace what Delorme calls âthe beautiful, the irrational, the mythic, the rare, the uniqueâeverything that is opposed to the standardization of our way of life.â With poetic photography by Thibaut Cuisset, Architectsâ Dream Houses invites readers into the inner worlds of some of historyâs most imaginative architectural minds.â
