Bookroo's summary

Journey through a world of unique homes with Giles Laroche's intricate collages. Discover how people live in diverse dwellings, from a mountain-carved bedroom in Spain to a rotating floating house in the Netherlands. Each home tells a story, shaped by its environment and culture. Why are some built to blend into landscapes or confuse invaders? What tales do the decorated houses of South Africa or the yurts of Mongolia hold? This book invites you to imagine life in these fascinating abodes, revealing the reasons behind their construction and the lives they shelter.
