This issue presents houses architects have built for themselves. What do they consider when designing their own homes? What do they hope to achieve? Seventeen contemporary architects and practices are highlighted, along with their projects. It begins with an essay by Seattle-based architecture professor Ken Tadashi Oshima and houses designed by major 20th-century architects, where he describes the architect’s own residence as a place to explore and realise an imagined space. Among the featured contemporary architects are John Pawson, Bjarke Ingels, Vincent Van Duysen, Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Ensamble Studio, and Wendy Lewin and Glenn Murcutt.
