Qu'elles soient historiques ou contemporaines, toutes ces réalisations illustrent l'art de vivre dans une maison d'architecte. Car cet ouvrage entend offrir un regard nouveau sur la vie domestique qui s'est installée dans ces maisons remarquables, que nous connaissons souvent à travers des photos exemptes de vie humaine. Les habitants de ces lieux qui ont accepté de jouer le jeu, nous ont ouvert leurs portes et raconté leurs histoires, toujours singulières.
