A new volume from the esteemed architecture firm Historical Concepts
features extraordinary homes rooted in tradition and enriched with a
modern sensibility.
Known for designing welcoming Southern
homes, Historical Concepts, one of today's leading traditional
architecture firms, is now working on diverse projects across America
and in exotic locales, such as the Caribbean and Patagonia. A
multigenerational team of architects is extending the firm's founding
philosophy--expressing both timeless and inventive perspectives on
design. Showcased are beautifully photographed country estates, coastal
retreats, and pastoral properties, all weaving the classical principles
of symmetry, scale, and proportion with vernacular motifs and artisanal
craftsmanship to create stylish and comfortable backdrops for
contemporary living. Sophisticated interior decoration and stunning
landscapes accompany the architecture, creating a harmonious sense of
place. Through engaging stories that inform, Andrew Cogar shows how to
reimagine the traditional home--whether an elegant Greek Revival
pavilion, a chic Hamptons summer house, or a reinterpretation of a
historic Charleston single house--to capture one's unique point of view.
Visions of Home is an invaluable resource for those who enjoy the
warmth and charm of traditional architecture.
