The greatest challenge in designing homes is negotiating the delicate
balance between aesthetics and the personal desires of the occupants. While
it’s important for the structure to reflect the vision and style of the
architect, the client must ultimately feel at home beneath the roof. It is
particularly interesting, therefore, to examine the homes that architects
create for themselves. If houses reflect their owners’ personalities, then
architects’ own homes are like autobiographies. Location, layout, style,
lighting, artwork, furnishings—every detail adds color to the story. Each of
these dwellings, presented A-Z by architect, speaks more about its designer
than any other building possibly could.
Gennaro Postiglione studied architecture and completed post-doctoral
studies in industrial design in Naples. He has been a visiting lecturer and
professor in other countries and since 1998 has been teaching design in the
department of Interior Design at Milan Politecnico. His research work focuses
on interior design and on the relationship between architecture, culture and
current events. Gennaro Postiglione is editor of Area magazine.
