The latest volume in teNeues' tantalizing Luxury series is entitled Luxury Houses: Top of the World. As we've noted before, the luxe publisher's Top of the World titles reflect the very best the globe has to offer. This book is not simply a showcase of the world's most extravagant estates, however; rather, it showcases the dwellings of those who have the luxury to build exactly what and where they want. All of the residences pictured feature "stunning settings, sumptuous materials, and sophisticated architectural detailing and interiors," and each "offers a unique perspective on what's possible if both money and taste abound." The cover, above, features the Samsara villa in Phuket, Thailand, designed around an infinity pool with incredible ocean views.
