If you lived in a treehouse built high in the trees, squirrels would be your neighbors;
If you lived in a floating house in the Netherlands, you could rotate your house and watch both sunrise and sunset from the same window;

This book tells the stories of various houses around the world, and the interesting lives that the people living in them have had or are currently experiencing.
Gilles Lavoisier uses relief paper-cut sculpture art, created through multiple steps including hand-drawing, collage, and coloring, to present an exquisite and magnificent artistic world. Each picture itself is a meticulously crafted work of art.
◎ Media Reviews
Each house is created from relief paper-cut collages, through multiple steps including hand-drawing, cutting, coloring, and gluing, resulting in exquisite grandeur. Mr. Lavoisier traveled the world with his sketchbook, or made collages with children in schools, and this book was inspired by that.
It's mesmerizing. Lavoisier has the precision of an architect and a perspective that can find grandeur. Each page, in fact, is a world.
— Publishers Weekly
