In her most personal book, Carolyne Roehm shares her lifelong love of classical architecture and design, graciously inviting us into her favorite spaces in three remarkable homes: her own dazzling Manhattan prewar duplex, her antique-filled Colonial-era stone house in Connecticut, and a special friend’s Aspen residence evocative of eighteenth-century Sweden. Each is an architectural showpiece as well as a superlative example of her polished style: never fussy, always graceful and enticing.

Even as a young design assistant to Oscar de la Renta, Carolyne Roehm was a devotee of the eternal virtues of artistry. Now, having lived in several residences, she has gathered her knowledge, enthusiasms, and extraordinary collections to make these three homes quintessential examples of the Roehm style. Each is individual - yet all showcase her classical leanings and devotion to the beauty and grace of authentic craftsmanship. The New York apartment, with its selection of antique busts and objects and superlative artwork and furnishings; the stunning double-height great room, beautifully finished in handcrafted neoclassical details, that forms the heart of her Connecticut residence; Aspen’s colorful, abundant interiors, light-flooded from 78 windows - all express the special, satisfying harmony that can exist between timeless architecture and the artisan’s atelier.

With more than 300 intimate and evocative photographs of these classical splendors, A Passion for Interiors is a masterwork - rich with stylish inspirations for tailor-made décor. Oprah Winfrey admits, “Whenever I’m having a stressful day, I just want to open up Carolyne Roehm’s books, look at beautiful things, and dream.” Indeed, there is plenty to dream about in this extraordinary book.

For French-inspired living and romantic entertaining. Skillfully partnered vintage finds and fabrics create French-style elegance and comfort.

A Romance with French Living provides a glimpse into Carolyn Westbrook's world, where treasured antiques and vintage finds, perfectly faded fabrics and timeworn furniture blend, seemingly effortlessly, in superb interiors that are both relaxing and chic, inspired by French style.

Part One - French-inspired Interiors - showcases Carolyn's love for designing interiors, decorating, and creating relaxed and welcoming rooms. Essentially French shows how to adapt classic French style to suit modern-day living, and this ethos is carried through to the chapters on A Cottage in The Country and Urban Farmhouse.

Part Two - It's All in The Detail - concentrates on adding those all-important finishing touches to a room, whether it's antique leatherbound books, cherished items gathered on overseas travel or swathes of Carolyn's much-loved white linen, from vintage French linen bedsheets finding a new life as tablecloths and curtains to pristine bed linen and smart upholstery.

The final section of the book focuses on entertaining and celebrations, from a country barn party to a bridal shower and an intimate family wedding at Carolyn's own home, The Oaks Plantation in Texas.

About the Author:

Carolyn’s first branded book, The Carolyn Westbrook Home, was published by Sterling and she was a featured designer in the bestselling Where Women Create book.

Thirteen exquisite houses create a portrait of life in one of America’s most exclusive coastal destinations, along the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod.

Hutker Architects, led by founding principal Mark A. Hutker, has designed more than three hundred houses along the New England shore. A member of the close community on Martha’s Vineyard since his arrival in 1985, Hutker has become an expert at interpreting the ideal lifestyles of his clients within the respected traditions and restrictive codes of the beautiful but fragile environment.

In their design and construction, these houses honor the vernacular traditions of craft and indigenous materials, are deeply respectful of the cherished landscape, and demonstrate a lively range of solutions to building on the bluffs and dunes that line the shores of the Vineyard and Cape Cod. A working organic farm fulfills a family’s dream of simpler values; a luxurious renovation saves the best of an antique shingle cottage while transforming it for contemporary family life and a raised structure clad in naturally weathered boards combines the legacy of midcentury regional modern architecture with Cape Cod’s maritime tradition.

The firm is committed to the principle “Build once, well,” looking to the historic architecture of the region and the inherited experience of its carpenters and craftspeople as inspiration for contemporary design. The result is an architecture that is at once adaptable and livable, yet enduring, efficient, inevitable, and appropriate.

The houses sit lightly on the land, deferring to their surroundings, often built as a series of modest pavilions linked by passages or grouped to enclose an outdoor space. Creative design solutions — a light-filled gallery running the full length of a house, a continuous wall of sliding glass doors — make houses both open to views, but protective in a storm. Specially commissioned photography captures the craftsmanship and the settings of the houses, from dramatic bluffs overlooking the sea to secluded coves and rolling meadows filled with wildflowers, creating a unique portrait of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard.

Packed with images of beautiful decorative objects, extravagant interiors, sumptuous fabrics and ornate furniture, this sumptuously produced book explores the enduring allure of Orientalist decor and introduces the princes and aristocrats, artists and poets who commissioned this opulent 18th and 19th-century interiors.

Architects and decorative artists of the time were constantly seeking new sources of inspiration to satisfy the demands of their rich patrons. While some revisited the canons of the classical world, others began to turn their eyes towards the East, and the 'Oriental' became a byword for spectacle and sensuality.

The result was a wave of creative expression that encompassed everything from the smallest objets d’art to entire buildings.

This sumptuously produced book explores the enduring allure of Orientalist decor and introduces the princes and aristocrats, artists and poets who commissioned these opulent interiors. Packed with images of beautiful decorative objects, extravagant interiors, sumptuous fabrics and ornate furniture, this book will transport the reader to another time and place.

Even today, the design industry of Hong Kong seems to be dominated by men between the ages of 40 and 50.

Her first collection of design projects “A touch of Anita Tang” focuses on residential designs. It contains over 10 household and model home projects which not only expresses the talents of a female designer, but also the prevailing grace and passions exclusively found in feminine practitioners.

Gill Heriz presents another inspirational collection of women's sheds and other small spaces

In A Woman’s Huts and Hideaways, Gill Heriz presents an inspirational collection of stunning small spaces. Each place has its own story, a reason for being, whether it’s somewhere to escape, to create, to work, or just a place to “be”. By the Waterside, Ivy has built a mud hut near the River Willamett in Portland, Oregon — a place to “inspire and educate and share with her community.” In the Countryside Monica’s Cabin on the Hill is a writing retreat and provides a place for women who need time away from busy lives. A purpose-built shed in an Urban garden serves as studio for illustrator and artist, Martha. Hidden away, in an enchanting wilderness in Suffolk, UK, is Janet and Sue’s Secret Garden. Here, there are three sheds: an old summerhouse full of light; a hide nestled in the bushes for watching the local wildlife; and a renovated wagon used as a base for recording their wildlife observations. From yurts to Airstreams, beach huts to bothies, the huts and hideaways have one thing in common — they are all inspirational spaces created by women, for women.

About the Author:

Gill Heriz is an artist and writer who was once an interior designer, and has a passion for architecture and design. She is also self-confessedly nosy, and loves nothing more than exploring other people’s houses. Her interest in women’s sheds, was first sparked by some fine examples in her local area, and now extends across the world. Her current shed is a studio built from old flint, where she can work, create, and relax. The author is based in Suffolk, UK. Nicolette Hallett went from painting at art school to photography college, and a 30-year career in commercial photography. She prefers observational photography, and has photographed everything from stone masons to stately homes. She has an "off the peg" shed, which is her painting studio in summer. The photographer is based in Suffolk, UK

Every woman deserves a shed of her own, somewhere to retreat to for some quiet time, to create or grow, to write or paint, or just to contemplate the view. Gill Heriz has interviewed over 70 different women, and Nicolette Hallett has photographed their sheds inside and out, to collect together this unique insight into why women have sheds, and what they do in them.

There are sheds for puppet-makers, sculptors, and writers, as well as farmers, furniture-makers, and woodcutters. There are sheds that can be lived in, sheds that are full to the rafters, and sheds that are simply sheds, with the usual collection of gardening tools, lawnmowers, and seed packets. Virginia Woolf once argued that, for women, writing fiction required “a room of one’s own.” These women have taken that premise a step further — to the end of the backyard — to find their own very personal space.

This third part of the new A&D Series (A&D #3) features around ten exclusive city homes. All of the projects have been photographed in recent months: exceptional city residences, contemporary apartments, lofts with character.

The starting point was the philosophy that runs through the A&D series: the constant interaction between architecture and interior furnishing and design.

This book presents a wide variety of projects by the young Belgian architect Glenn Sestig, who founded his eponymously named studio less than ten years ago. The company has made a name for itself with the great diversity of its creations, and this book offers an opportunity to compare these designs in one place. Placing these reports alongside each other makes it possible to define the essential aspects of his style and his language of forms. Is it possible to talk in terms of ‘a Glenn Sestig style’?

Yes, in a sense, it is. Most of the interior designs he has created to date have at least two characteristics in common. The first and most important characteristic, the backbone of all his projects, is the extreme precision, the rigueur, of his work. The architectural line, the proportions, the perspective, the relationship between the surfaces: all of these are constructed with such mastery that it is easy to forget the careful consideration that has gone into their design and creation.This rigueur allows Glenn Sestig to focus on the essence, onto which he then projects the personal character of every creation. The great versatility shown by this architect during the first decade of his work is also remarkable: clients have asked him to renovate a city apartment with a design to satisfy aesthetes, and, on a different scale, he has also transformed a former bank with spectacular volumes into a temple to fashion. Glenn Sestig has clearly exhibited his ability to pinpoint the essence of a project, and also proven himself a virtuoso within another register that typifies his work: that of elegance and refinement. This feature of his work consists of several aspects. His fondness for very exclusive furniture and objects, often combined with works of art, is perhaps the most easily visible aspect. The second aspect lies in his choice of materials and the inventive way he interprets them to suit the project. One of the many examples: the use of Moroccan tadelakt on the vaulted ceiling of Molotov, a private club located in an époque building.

The way Glenn Sestig works with materials cannot be detached from the choice of colour and the interplay of light: these too are an integral part of the base material from which he creates his spaces. However, his skill is also based on a cosmopolitan vision of the world in which we live, work and travel – and this is undoubtedly the aspect of his creations that lies closest to Glenn Sestig’s heart. Hollywood, Latin America, China or Japan, Africa... different countries take it in turns to feature in his projects, perhaps in a reference to a particular weaving technique, the imaginary atmosphere of a salon where people dance the tango, or the glamorous boudoir of a 1930s star. Make no mistake, though: these references are not conventions and they are never obvious. They are distilled from the art of the moment: his virtuosity could also be seen as sensuality.
