For those who love boldness in design, Los Angeles-based interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard demonstrates his mastery of dramatic environments for a clientele of celebrities. 

Drawn to glamour, Martyn Lawrence Bullard moved from London to Los Angeles to pursue acting but became a star decorator instead. His designs balance the contemporary with the traditional, the Occidental with the ethnic. His celebrity clients’ homes are inspiring in their chic yet sumptuous styles, including Sir Elton John’s disco-luxurious apartment with a python-skin bed, green lacquered walls, and mirrored cabinets; Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo’s hip Mediterranean villa in the Hollywood Hills; Cher’s residences-a Moorish palazzo in Malibu and a Beverly Hills Indian fantasy; and Tamara Mellon’s New York City penthouse that dazzles with bold artwork and striking color. 

With a knack for beautiful and dramatic spaces that don’t sacrifice comfort, Lawrence Bullard-who stars in the upcoming Bravo television show Million Dollar Decorators-reveals his know-how for creating a sensational home.

Сложные, изысканные, высокохудожественные интерьеры в исполнении одного из лучших дизайнеров по версии House Beautiful Мэри Макдональд впервые дарят свое утонченное великолепие читательской публике.

Бесподобное очарование фермерской Италии в уникальной коллекции самых живописных массерий Апулии. Виноградники, оливковые деревья и средневековая архитектура – реалистичное и увлекательное путешествие в одну из прекраснейших стран мира.

Located on Italy’s sun-drenched southeast coast, the unique and rustic interiors of Puglia’s ancient Masserie buildings speak of a historic past and are inspiring to all those who love rustic living. Surrounded by verdant vineyards and groves of olive trees, the Masserie of Puglia - fortified domestic structures of brick, stone, and concrete dating from the Middle Ages - embody a rich cultural past largely unexplored by the tourists and villa-seekers of Tuscany. Once serving as farmhouses and way stations for those traveling along the Via Appia, these buildings have been renovated to serve as private residences or boutique hotels, with their beautifully preserved interiors thoughtfully adapted and turned into a cool serenity. With striking photography by Mark Roskams, this book offers a previously unseen look into these spaces. Simultaneously austere and luxurious, the simple yet spacious rooms retain their original charm, including stone kitchen fireplaces, churchlike arched hallways, and magnificent marble floors. The rustic reds, golden yellows, and cornflower blues of classic Italy are surprising when set against the dazzlingly white backdrops of medieval stucco and stone. Richly contextualized with original essays by architect and scholar Diane Lewis, this volume will inspire interior lovers with the details of this unique and rustic architectural style.

The villa stands for sumptuous home decor and upscale lifestyle. However it is more than a large urban mansion with a piece of land: The villa offers its residents an urban country seat, combining the best of city and country life: impressive architecture and high quality materials, surrounded by green, yet in the midst of all the city has to offer. It esteems quiet and seclusion, without relinquishing its tie to the city. For architects involved in the planning or conversion of a mansion, reinterpreting a classical building in a contemporary context is an exciting challenge. With the aid of texts, pictures and plans this volume of the Masterpieces series presents the works of famous architects as well as those of younger newcomers.

The Mediterranean coast is attracting a growing number of people from all over the world, both holiday-makers and other visitors, some of whom eventually decide to settle in one of the countries that enjoy its unique environment.

The benign climate, with its dry summers and mild winters, as well as the stunning tapestry of bays, rocky coves, sandy beaches, lush mountain ranges and strong red earth have all conspired to create a unique Mediterranean architectural style. Exceptionally beautiful houses, apartments and estates, many of which have been meticulously restored, all reflect their surroundings.

The bright colours, the terracotta tiles of the roofs, the white-washed walls and interior details are still the most typical design elements but reinterpreted in a thousand different ways. The residences featured in this book are fine examples of the splendour and enchantment of Mediterranean architecture.

They have been selected to pay homage to the various cultures that contribute to resplendence and to illustrate the perfect fusion between tradition modernism.

The Mediterranean lifestyle is as multifaceted as the cultures that have evolved around the Mediterranean Sea. It has absorbed African, Arab and European influences and incorporates the various local architectural styles. A common element of Mediterranean design is living in harmony with nature – the climatic conditions in particular have always affected the residential culture around the world’s largest inland sea.

Light and breezy layouts, cooling materials, and shade providing constructions are complemented by terraces, patios and gardens. Mediterranean Living shows rural dream residences made of natural rock as well as airy apartments at the heart of metropolises and ultra-modern villas. It takes us on a journey from Spain via Greece all the way to Morocco and Israel.
