"C'est une blague que l'on sert aux architectes: habiteriez-vous dans ce que vous construisez? Là, la réponse est oui. Les cent maisons présentées sont celles que cent architectes, plus ou moins célèbres, ont construites pour leur propre usage. Transparente ou claquemurée, mégalo ou super sobre, chacune raconte sans faux-semblants les fantasmes de son concepteur."
Télérama, Paris, France
