This is the coffee table book that people who loved Andrew Henry's Meadow as a child need. I loved looking at the house layouts and designs and the little details that were included throughout. Not what I was expecting with this book, but very cool nonetheless!

 Architecture meets design meets fantasy meets visual art. A stunner.

One of the most beautiful book I have ever read!

Ultimately, it is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, the art is truly amazing! It is a delightful journey with multiple house references spanning from various countries, periods, and stories. This book also delves into the history of toilets.

Here are my personal favorites:
1. Kaidan-Do Bookstore
2. Grass-Roofed House in the Snowy Country
3. Dreamer's Tree House
4. The Library of Lost Books

Given that this book has many words and terms rarely used in general, it might take a while to finish, especially for beginner readers. In my case, I noted 103 new words in my dictionary after finishing this book.

I highly recommend this book to authors or artists looking to start writing; it serves as an excellent reference book!
