Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The work of Polhemus Savery DaSilva (PSD) synthesises ideas from modernism, Shingle Style, and New England vernacular architecture into special homes that are carefully crafted for each different site and client.

The value of the art, craft, and organisational skill the firm brings to every project has been widely recognised through local, regional, and national awards for architectural design, preservation, construction, and business management.

DaSilva, FAIA, is an architect, author, member of the New England Design Hall of Fame, and the Design Principal at PSD. His award-winning work has been published worldwide. Bruce Snider, Senior Contributing Editor of Custom Home wrote of DaSilva: An architect so adept in visual and spatial expression gives up none of his fluency in shifting to the written word.
