A tour of the most creative and inspiring houses around the world.

Alternative Living Spaces celebrates fuller, freer, and less regulated ways of living. This book showcases a selection of homes – or rather, living spaces – from the most radical to the more everyday, whose architecture plays a critical role in defining how we live. Alternative Living Spaces tells the unique story of these remarkable houses, each of which emerged from the collaborative efforts of an architect and a client determined to experiment not only with where to live but, more importantly, with how to live. Alternative Living Spaces gives architects and residents the chance to speak out, presenting a wide range of perspectives informed by sociological insights.
