My House, My Paradise is a collection of houses in which the 'residents-cum-creators' have devoted all of their ingenuity, energy and determination into constructing what they perceive to be the ideal domestic universe. Each defines a personal microcosm and all are exceptional, whatever the material means used to create them. These are dwellings in which a personal way of looking at the world has bee n relentlessly pursued; most are lifelong undertakings that grew and changed with the creator, and many are distinctly eccentric.
