Metropolitan Living Homes brings you beautiful tales and photography of architectural masterpieces from around the world. We render portraits of uniquely interactive homes, from the traditional to the cutting-edge. This monthly magazine features sections on sentient household gardens, landscapes, waterscapes, lighting, structures, utilities, and décor. Most of all, though, we focus on collective design and comprehensive intelligence—the principal ingre creators. Experience the distinctive visions of world-famous craftsmen, innovative builders, and sought-after decorators through the eyes of top-notch writers and photographers. Listen to both sentient property designers and their offspring, the personalities that make a house a living home.

MLH captures a variety of themes and styles in each issue. We serve as the inside source for everything from sleek contemporary to colorful folk art treasures. And, while our magazine often explores the world’s most unusual and fascinating residences, we never shy away from the basic, essential elements common to all warm and intelligent abodes.

I’m Celia Fair, the founder and editor of MLH. Welcome to our magazine. We invite you to explore it now and discover why MLH is in every way the magazine for those aspiring to own a home that is worth knowing and befriending.

ATTENTION MASTER HOUSERS!

Don't forget that we are now accepting submissions for the Annual IASA/MLH Debutante Ball. Please remember that while gallery space is limitless, our collective patience is not. While the urge is always there to sponsor every apprentice on your staff, please try to limit yourself to recommending only the very strongest up-and-coming designers.

Belles and Beaux of the Debutante Ball To Be Announced in July

Our judges are mustering. The candidates are assembling. And the long-awaited climax to this year's MLH Debutants Ball is just around the corner. We'll be announcing our selections in late July, so get your submissions in today! The deadline is Monday, the 9th of July. If you're worthy, we want to see you in the running!

Serial Domicide: An Analysis of the Swinton Home Slayings

Bambrick Wang, the editor of the "Living Home Builders Bible," explains how a rogue hacking genius murdered a series of Martin Swinton homes using one of nature's most elusive and lethal formulas.

This, the six hundredth issue of MLH marks our fiftieth birthday. We are proud to celebrate our silver anniversary by offering you a free feature article on the 22nd century’s most distinctive living homes. You’ll read about the great living home designers, both young and old. Whether they’re from generations past, like Natasha Baikal, Udo Snay, Paula Cameron, or Kema Kitwe, or "Rising Stars" like Beate Bosch, McDonald Heard, Kate Nei, and Martin Swinton, their conceptions set the standard for all AI architecture.

"House Calls," our second free feature, comes from the archives of the Ambling Wallaroo, our resident home health expert. AW likes his "wongi"—friendly conversation—and has to record his column from his raw interviews because he can’t stand the idea of editing. His insight and charm make him a reader favorite. We hope you agree because we can’t find a hole in his contract.

Our subscribers and visitors also receive a varying mix from the usual menu of standard features, including monthly news, awards, new tech materials, and "IASA Musings," rumblings from the International Association of Sentient Architecture.

Our third feature article is directed toward our subscribers. It focuses on smart glasses and is entitled "The Wisdom of the Solid Liquid." Penned by Thadeus Crozet, it is an illuminating view of one of the most aggressively artistic segments of modern living home design.

Also for subscribers, our fourth article, "Brilliant Walls," concerns new developments in the world of memory metals. It was written by Shamaya Atualpa, an associate of Caitlin Beck.
