From John Pawson's minimally styled London house to the skinny Rotterdam residence of architect couple Gwendolyn Huisman and Marijn Boterman, we've rounded up 10 of the best self-designed homes by architects and designers.

Notting Hill home, London, England by John Pawson
John Pawson paired Scandinavian furnishings with white surfaces and pale wooden floors to furnish his own Notting Hill house. He says this minimal style is reflective of his own aesthetic tastes, rather than a proposal for an alternative, stripped-back lifestyle.
"I don't design what I do because I want to try and live the way it's telling me to," Pawson told Dezeen columnist Will Wiles. "It's just how I want things. It's a reflection of who I am and what I am." Find out more about John Pawson's house ?

The Scenario House, London, England by Ran Ankory and Maya Carni
Scenario Architecture founder Ran Ankory and Maya Carni added a glass-roofed extension to their family home, opening up the interiors and creating a split-level reception space facing the garden. A lounge occupies the lower area at the front of the house, and a more casual area for relaxing in front of a fireplace.
"This house was a chance to be our own clients," said the architect couple. "It presented us with the opportunity to 'practice what we preach' to its fullest expression and create the Scenario House."
