Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For award-winning architect Gil Schafer, the most successful houses are the ones that celebrate the small moments of life houses with timeless charm that are imbued with memory and anchored in a distinct sense of place. Essentially, Schafer believes a house is truly successful when the people who live there consider it home. Its this belief and Schafers rare ability to translate his clients deeply personal visions of how they want to live into a physical home that reflects those dreams that has established him as one of the most sought-after, highly-regarded architects of our time. In his new book, A Place to Call Home Schafer follows up his bestselling The Great American House, by pulling the curtain back on his distinctive approach, sharing his process (complete with unexpected, accessible ideas readers can work into their own projects) and taking readers on a detailed tour of seven beautifully realized houses in a range of styles located around the country each in a unique place, and each with a character all its own. 250 lush, full color photographs of these seven houses and other never-before-seen projects, including exterior, interior, and landscape details, invite readers into Schafers world of comfortable classicism. Ultimately, the houses featured in A Place to Call Home are more than just beautiful buildings in beautiful places. In each of them, Schafer has created a dialogue between past and present, a personalised world that people can inhabit gracefully, in sync with their own notions of home. Because, as Schafer writes in the book, he designs houses "not for an architects ego, but [for] the beauty of life, the joys of family, and, not least, a heartfelt celebration of place." From the author of The Great American House, a stunning new book on the power of place. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
