Every beautiful home is better with a dog in it, and this book is the proof. Resident Dog by photographer Nicole England takes you inside architecturally superb houses, many of them architects' own homes, where the presence of a dog brings warmth and life to even the most dramatic spaces.

From midcentury raw brick to a penthouse apartment, gracious Edwardian to Scandinavian modern, beach house to country retreat, there is always room for a dog or two. They trot, nap and sniff their way through every page, sometimes more rambunctious than their surroundings, sometimes perfectly in tune with the setting. French bulldogs, golden retrievers and Labradoodles act as your tour guides, blissfully oblivious to designer furniture, family heirlooms and serious design aesthetics. The homes are stunning. The dogs make them irresistible.

England is a Melbourne-based architecture and interiors photographer whose work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Vogue Living, Elle Decor and Wallpaper, and it shows. The photography is every bit as considered as the houses themselves, which makes this hardcover a natural companion to the titles in our books collection and a personality-filled counterpoint to more formal interiors volumes.
