Les maisons d’architectes par et pour eux-mêmes entre le XVIIIe et le XIXe siècle

Architects' houses built by themselves for their own residences do not always stand out from the crowd of ordinary private homes, particularly in terms of their size. But on closer inspection, their façades often convey a message about the architect's doctrine, profession or tastes, in other words, a surplus of symbols or signs that are often absent elsewhere.
What's more, as these are not anonymous residences, we sometimes know how the premises were occupied.
