Summary: Showcasing a stunning selection of award-winning architect-designed houses from recent years, Architecture at Home explores a broad range of living environments in diverse locations.

These innovative and expressive homes celebrate the role of good design in shaping the way we live, work and play at a time when our houses have been tested in unexpected ways.
