About this Item

Houses: Atelier AM, published by Rizzoli in 2019, is the second major volume devoted to the residential work of Alexandra and Michael Misczynski, the Los Angeles-based design partnership behind Atelier AM. The book presents eight homes, each treated as a complete integration of design, art, architecture, and landscape - the firm's signature approach since opening their office in 2002. The projects range across design history, drawing from Spanish Colonial and English Classicism through to the contemporary, with Atelier AM's characteristic mixing of reclaimed materials, vintage modern furniture, century-old artifacts, and antiques. The result, across 270 pages, is a document of connoisseurship applied to the domestic interior at a serious level. Photography is by François Halard, Atelier AM's long-term collaborator, and texts are by Mayer Rus. The book is produced to Rizzoli's large-format standards and speaks directly to readers engaged with interior design, architecture, decorative arts, and the history of design.

About this title

Synopsis

Following up on their much-heralded first volume of interiors, this new publication presents the next evolution of Atelier AM--virtuosos of mixing antiques and museum-quality artworks with pedigreed design.

"Alexandra and Michael Misczynski, the wife-and-husband team behind the Los Angeles-based AD100 design firm Atelier AM, are standard-bearers for the...concepts of quality and connoisseurship. In an image-driven culture, where novelty and extravagance so often masquerade as virtues, the Misczynskis remain steadfast in their belief that true style can emerge only from substance." --Architectural Digest
Atelier AM has been the go-to designers for true connoisseurs since they opened their office in 2002. Taking on very few projects each year, each Atelier AM home is a complete masterwork--where design and art are fully integrated into the architecture and landscape for a rich and immersive experience.
Eight new homes are featured in this new volume, and each features Atelier AM's signature reverence for patina mixed with the new: reclaimed wood beams and well-loved vintage modern furniture pieces mingles comfortably with century-old artifacts and antiques. The projects in this volume show a deep understanding of design history--from Spanish Colonial and English Classicism to contemporary. The mix of modern and ancient acknowledges and celebrates both the past and the future of design. With photography by their long-term collaborator Francois Halard, and insightful texts by Mayer Rus, Houses: Atelier AM promises to be as rich and satisfying as an Atelier AM home itself.
