The book focuses on four major residential projects spanning the breadth of Couch’s career, from his own family home in 1975, to the Kew House completed in 2019. Each of the four projects is represented by Couch’s original hand drawings, a written essay and a photo essay. In addition, accompanying extracts from a series of interviews introduce the reader to Couch’s voice, distilling the ideas, images, memories and dreams that animate his aspirations for architecture.
