Everyone has a different opinion about the way the ideal family home should look. The different reports in this book reflect this variety of opinions: they range from historic country houses to recently built, distinctive homes for young families with lots of children. The same theme keeps emerging from these very different backgrounds: the sense of conviviality, the warm welcome, the informal, timeless character that each of these family homes exudes. These are houses that are not just there to be looked at – first and foremost, they are places where people really live: ideal environments for parents, children and guests.

The headquarters for Willis Faber & Dumas challenged accepted thinking about the office building and established Foster + Partners’ reputation for democratic, flexibly planned workplaces. Primarily conceived with a spirit of equality, the architectural innovations of Willis Faber & Dumas included the use of escalators in a three-storey structure, as well as the social dimension offered by its swimming pool, roof-top restaurant and garden. Designed for long-term flexibility, the building pioneered the use of raised office floors, which anticipated the revolution in information technology. Externally, the building was equally distinguished for its state-of-the-art glass façade, and its free-form plan, which responded to the medieval street pattern.
