LIVING IN THE LANDSCAPE

ANNA JOHNSON & RICHARD BLACK ( Thames & Hudson, $70)

Exploring how deep a connection can and should occur between a home’s design and its landscape, architects and academics Anna Johnson and Richard Black examine houses across Australia and New Zealand — where, it is said, we are skilled in the particular balance of creating homes that seamlessly blur the divide between in and out, hopefully ethically and with light earthly impact. The homes are as visually stunning as their surrounds, with outlooks and rooms that show what respectful design is capable of.
