Description

An appealing option to creating dwellings blending vernacular styles, fine craftsmanship, and indigenous materials. 

This volume features the contemporary projects of McAlpine, some of the country’s most highly respected architecture and interior design firms, renowned for its timeless houses exemplifying the charm and elegance of traditional and vernacular English, American, and European styles blended with a brand new sensibility.

Following from their first book, The Home Within Us, this book profiles twenty stunning projects, from a stone tower folly standing within the gardens of a Tudor-style house to a humble yet elegant wooden lakeside retreat. Through his poetic voice, Bobby McAlpine narrates the tale of every place of dwelling, pointing out its unique qualities. Featured are an exotic Florida Panhandle beach house; a Tuscan-style horse farm; a rambling Colonial Revival compound; and a miniature European manor house, among others. These dwellings are classically understated and welcoming. With its gorgeous photography of inspiring interiors and exteriors, Poetry of Place will appeal to these all in favour of design romancing the past.
