Nestled amid the lush, gently rolling hills of cattle and horse farms in Millbrook, New York, is a handsome Greek Revival house that looks find it irresistible’s all the time been there. Actually, it’s up to date—the collaborative effort of architect Peter Pennoyer and his wife, interior designer Katie Ridder. This impossible to resist book, exquisitely illustrated with photographs, finely rendered plans, and hand-painted illustrations, tells the house’s story. The design followed Pennoyer’s conviction that historical examples are a springboard for the imagination and offer compelling solutions for new architecture. So, though many characteristics of the house are classical, and, more specifically, Greek Revival, {it is also|additionally it’s also|it is usually} thoroughly latest and environmentally friendly, with an exuberantly colorful interior. Of equal weight to the house’s interior and exterior design is the fabulous landscape. A passionate, self-taught gardener, Ridder brought her design talent to the creation of the house’s garden, inspired by an English cottage garden, with a lush, dense mix of more than 200 perennials, annuals, rare plants, shrubs, and bulbs. The book includes a gatefold pullout of the garden plan, complete with a comprehensive key to flowers and plantings.
