Stone Houses

Commissioned by Phaidon to write ‘Stone Houses’: a beautifully designed book comprising 50 stone houses from around the world that make the most of this extraordinary and tactile material.

Stone has an enduring appeal and has been used to build homes for centuries. Remarkably versatile, it is available in a multitude of colours and textures, ranging from sleek white marble and polished granite to rustic grey slate and beige travertine.

This carefully curated selection of houses shows how leading architects from around the world have harnessed the beauty of stone to create exquisite and sustainable houses in an inspiring array of styles.
