An inspiring collection of contemporary homes by architect Celeste Robbins, principal of Robbins Architecture, whose modern designs are imbued with warmth, comfort, and a deep sense of place

In her first monograph, Chicago-based architect Celeste Robbins of Robbins Architecture proves that contemporary design can be inviting, comfortable, and graciously responsive to how we and our families live.

Illustrating Robbins’s holistic vision, which integrates architecture, interior design, and landscape, The Meaningful Modern Home features nine significant projects realized in different styles and natural materials. Set amid spectacular landscapes across the United States—in Michigan, Colorado, Wyoming, Illinois, Idaho, and New York—the residences all offer living proof of how modernism can be warm and rooted in a vivid sense of place.
