A House Is Not a Home is a deeply personal photography monograph by Bruce Weber that invites readers into a series of remarkable, evocative homes. Published in 1996 by Bulfinch Press, this oversized volume moves far beyond traditional interior photography, focusing instead on the emotional landscapes of the spaces we inhabit.

Weber’s lens captures everything from Siegfried and Roy’s opulent Las Vegas suite to Georgia O’Keeffe’s stark Ghost Ranch, from Chris Isaak’s humble Californian beginnings to the Duchess of Devonshire’s stately English residence. Each home is approached not as a set piece, but as a lived experience—full of gestures, moods, and memories.

The book opens with a reflective essay by Paul Bowles, recounting life on a small island off Sri Lanka. His words set the tone for what follows: a quiet meditation on presence over perfection. With a mix of black-and-white and color photography, Weber creates a portrait of what makes a space truly feel like home.
