Residential monographs have, in recent years, become increasingly homogenous, usually featuring acres of glass and wood, punctuated by a smattering of midcentury furniture staples. As Wallpaper’s books editor, Jonathan Bell knows this more than most, and 21st Century House is his elegant rebuttal of this prevailing orthodoxy. The houses here are from all over the world and made of all kinds of materials, and if sometimes their attractions are less obvious than we’re used to, they are almost always more interesting.
