Nicole England draws on her long-standing career to take readers on a reflective journey through 22 distinctive homes around the world. Rather than focusing solely on the architecture, she delves into the cherished objects, sculptures and artworks that imbue each space with character and soul.

“When I set out to create this book, I wanted to explore the soul of architecture in a new way,” England reflects. “Art and objects are not just decorations but anchors of identity, grounding each home in the lived experiences of its residents. It’s these things that give form to the memories, humour and quirks that make the spaces unique.”

Written by design journalist Aleesha Callahan, the book follows England’s photographic journey across some of the world’s most introspective homes, from an artist’s industrial home-studio in New York to an architect’s modern coastal sanctuary in Victoria, Australia. These homes not only embody the beauty captured through England’s lens but also reveal the personal stories of their owners.

Reflecting the deep connection between people and the spaces they inhabit, Art in Residence signifyies how England’s architectural photography goes beyond merely capturing spaces—it tells the stories of what makes a house a home.
