Stone has an enduring appeal and has been used to build homes for centuries. Remarkably diverse and versatile, it is available in a multitude of colours and textures, ranging from the refined elegance of sleek white marble and polished granite to the rustic charm of grey slate and beige travertine.
This carefully curated selection of 50 stunning houses from all over the world - from imposing mansions to tiny cottages - shows, through interior and exterior images, how leading architects from around the world have harnessed the beauty of stone to create exquisite houses in an inspiring array of styles.
Featured architects and buildings include B. E. Architecture (Armadale Residence, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) and Room 11 (D'entrecasteaux House, Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia).
