This book invites you to take a tour around a variety of Zen houses. Whether they are large or small, loud or understated, or designed for an Eastern or Western lifestyle, all have done away with the superfluous and opened themselves up to purity and balance. Located in distinctive locations such as Japan, Bali and Ibiza, the homes within these pages will transport you to a place where life is quieter, simpler and altogether more pleasant, while providing you with plenty of ideas about how to achieve the same within your home.
