The Monocle Book of the Home

 
　　2007年成立的國際知名媒體品牌Monocle，以兼具設計感與深度的內容吸引大批死忠讀者。這本Monocle最新問世的住宅指南，藉高質感圖文呈現墨西哥、芬蘭、黎巴嫩等地20處住宅，無論是澳洲島嶼的改建小屋，或雅加達市中心的現代避風港，都能提供讀者生活空間設計靈感。
 
　　理想的「家」是開展生活、家庭成長、狗兒在沙發上跳躍、親友共享佳餚之所在，也是能提供人們在安靜角落或週六下午小睡片刻的獨處空間。Monocle團隊在本書呈現個人住宅、新舊住房改造，到社區營造各種購成家的元素。
 
　　即便到了今日，Monocle仍沒有任何社群平台。出版品裡的攝影作品全由團隊親臨現場拍攝，最後精選而出，獨家內容值得細細品味珍藏。本書收錄的攝影作品展示住宅的建築結構與細節如家具家飾等，搭配設計師、作家與評論者的解讀，讓人們在花更多時間居家之際，更能深入思考及改變生活方式。

　　From the team at Monocle, a look at some of the coziest and most creative homes around the world.

　　Good homes are places where lives unfold, families grow up, dogs jump on sofas, and friends share meals. They’re also spaces to find some solitude―a quiet corner to read a book or have a Saturday afternoon nap. Homes need to do it all―they sustain you, inspire you, and tell your story through architecture, design, and collections.

　　Monocle has always celebrated everything that makes a space a home when covering residences―whether featuring a city hideaway, a modernist seaside residence, or a summer outpost in a forest. The Monocle team brings this all together in one volume that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighborhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many.

　　The Monocle Book of the Home is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and the smallest details alongside fascinating essays full of advice by key thinkers, writers, and designers. As we spend more time at home than ever, this is a book that could change how you live.
