This monograph, the latest volume in Phaidon s documentation of John Pawson s stellar career, hones in on the essential details that mark his distinctive architectural and aesthetic style.

It groups a selection of his recent works into domestic projects, including his own house in rural England; extended sacred spaces; and

repurposed structures, such as London s Design Museum.

Throughout its pages, this book explores Pawson s unique approach to proportion and light and his precise language of windows, doors, and walls.
