Maisons De Pierre

Used to build homes for centuries, stone has an enduring appeal. Remarkably diverse and versatile, it comes in a multitude of colours and textures, from the refined elegance of white marble and polished granite to the rustic charm of grey slate and beige travertine.

This book features a selection of 50 stone houses from around the world - including a meticulously restored Maltese palace, a building nestled between rocks in Portugal, a secluded cottage in Scotland and a house carved out of a rocky outcrop in the United States - and shows, through interior and exterior images, how leading architects from around the world have harnessed the beauty of stone to create exquisite homes in a wide range of styles.
