We need to live in places that can sustain us, will age with grace and that are parts of bigger communities. 'The Monocle Book of Homes' is a handbook for creating these vital spaces
Field of vision
Having taken a break to find a dream holiday home, a UK couple are opening up their Alpine retreat to guests.
Happy meals

Make your shop sing
Extraordinary retail is rooted in strong design that showcases products rather than sidelining them. Interiors firm founder Teo Yang explains what makes an inspiring shop.

Finely chiselled

House proud
