Summary

A house is not just a series of openings and closings but a curated collection of objects and belongings. From the architects who have built the spaces to the artisans and makers who have crafted the objects, here are twenty-four inspiring homes showcasing the rooms and people that make them exceptional. Shannon McGrath, one of Australia's best interiors photographers, opens her archive to reveal the details and layers that make up a room: from furniture and fittings, to lighting choices, color palettes and art curation. Grand or small, each gesture speaks across generations, adding layers of detail that bring a house to life.
