While expressing preferences can sometimes feel like playing favourites, it also encourages deeper reflection and sharpens our understanding. So when revisiting PostMag’s 2024 homes to select the best, we came up with a top 5 based on specific, subjective criteria.

1. Most breathtaking

The scenery contributes to the ever-changing beauty of the AB Concept founders’ home in Karuizawa, Japan. But it is the cantilevered living room that offers the most immersive experience, allowing you to imagine being nestled among endless trees.

2. Best curves

Curves trended strongly in 2024, but few are as elegant and fluid as in this Pok Fu Lam flat designed by Craft of Both. The walls of this home are to sigh for.

3. Better than the real thing
