From Hand to Home: The Architecture of Douglas Wright
No Customer Reviews
Renowned architect Douglas Wright fills his beautifully designed debut book with recent highlights from his stunning portfolio of new houses and renovated dwellings. Wright's architecture, based in classical tradition and steeped in the historical continuum, has an effortless appeal that crosses styles and periods. Wright has captured the attention of design aficionados with his breathtaking architectural spaces informed by the spirit and lessons of historical, vernacular, and modern styles for today. Each of the presented residences--from a Queen Anne-style house and a seaside Shingle-style cottage to a modern beach house, a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired retreat, and a McKim, Mead & White city apartment--is paired with Wright's painted and penciled sketches, along with floor plans, all of which demonstrate his facility with the history of ornament and contemporary currents. Wright frequently collaborates with the country's most esteemed interior designers, including Bunny Williams, Cullman & Kravis, Brian J. McCarthy, and the late Amy Lau. Sophisticated yet approachable, Wright's architecture will tour the reader through the legacy of great buildings and outstanding craftmanship reinterpreted for the contemporary sensibility.
