The Monocle Guide Cosy Homes tells us how to turn a house into a home in which lives can unfold, children grow up, and dogs run wild. Most architecture and interior books show houses polished to perfection, manicured to the extent that it is hard to imagine anybody actualize lives there: they seem to miss the point that homes are meant to be inhabited. Through striking photography, The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes also gives you a glimpse into the lives that unfold in these apartments, villas, and cottages, showing that these homes are alive and that is precisely what makes them special. The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes is available at Gestalten Pavillion, Gestalten Space, and the Gestalten online shop.
