George H. Marcus’ book documenting iconic houses conceived as complete works of art, or Gesamtkunst. 'Each of the spectacular houses making up Total Design demonstrates how an architect realized a unifying vision through all aspects of design - architecture, furniture, fittings, decorative objects, color, and gardens.' Available on WorldCat, Amazon, and in many major bookstores. Could be a good introduction to the concept of a unified design vision throughout a house.
