Chinese Houses of Southeast Asia - Infatuation


A book that I found on a recent trip to London........


is full of treasures.


If I could, I'd move into one of these houses in a heartbeat.


Sadly, they are extremely rare these days.


What do I like most?  The lanterns?  The carvings?  The colors?


The sweet garden decor?


The perfect balance of light and heaviness?


The airiness?


The patterns?


I did say colors, didn't I?


The authors of this book won an award in 2005


for their previous book, Chinese Houses:  The Architectural Heritage of a Nation


I'm sure that book is just as gorgeous.
