Dieses Buch zeichnet die Entwicklung von Privathäusern im 21. Jahrhundert rund um die Insel nach. Viele von ihnen sind dem Einfluss des berühmtesten Sohnes der Insel, Geoffrey Bawa, zu verdanken. Mit Plänen, Fotos und Interviews mit Eigentümern und Architekten zeichnet der Autor die Entwicklung der Wohnstile in städtischen und ländlichen Gebieten nach. Von größter Bedeutung sind Nachhaltigkeit, Standort- und Klimaeignung.
