Frank Missotten's beautiful houses carry with them the best of times past in materials and craftsmanship. But each one of them finds its way without difficulty to the present time, in modern comfort and design, and with much love for contemporary art. 'Villas' gives an impressive overview of the most beautiful newly built and restoration projects, from villas to castle farmhouses. Their interiors too, with exclusive, authentic elements such as massive doors, oak staircases and floors in honed black slate are tastefully illustrated by top photographer Cees Roelofs.
