Summary This book is a treatise on how to reconnect people with nature through contemporary architecture and design. At Home is about finding solace within the landscape - in the bluffs, mountains, hills, woodlands, forests, bushland reserves or hinterlands - without eschewing the mode of luxury living associated with sophisticated design elegance and innovative architectural features. Showcasing dozens of new, innovative architectural styles and interiors, these captivating and beautifully designed homes have taken indoor/outdoor living to a whole new level, blending architecture seamlessly into the surrounding vistas without resorting to architectural cliché. Each design documents the importance of place, engages context with climate, and offers residents with spaces that cater to different modes of family living, all the while being integrated organically within spectacularly dramatic yet serene settings
