What happens when an architect designs a home for themselves? Without a client, without a deadline, and without compromise? A home where they can most purely express their ideas, test their convictions, and live among them? In How Architects Live, author Marc Blazer (CEO of high-design rental company Boutique) offers us more than a dozen unique answers to this question as he takes us a journey inside the personal homes of some of world s most accomplished contemporary architects, from Diego Villasenor s sanctuary in Mexico to Sigurd Larsen island hideaway in Kythnos, Greece. By looking closely at these homes, we can learn not only about architecture, but about the life inside those four walls. How do these spaces reflect the values of the people who created them? How do they shape family life, offer sanctuary, or frame moments of joy and connection? And what do they reveal about how we, too, might live better when our environments are designed with care and intention?
