John Fowler was an interior decorator who set fashions and changed tastes. The English country house style, which he developed with Sibyl Colefax and Nancy Lancaster, his partners in the firm of Colefax & Fowler, has proved a source of continuing inspiration to decorators and home-owners on both sides of the Atlantic and indeed across the world. Today, a hundred years after his birth, his influence is almost as powerful as it was in the mid 20th century, when he was working on many of Britain's finest and most famous houses, including Uppark, Chequers and Buckingham Palace, as well as dozens of more modest projects.

Fowler's style has been so widely imitated that it is easy to forget what an innovator he was. In the 1930s and 1940s his style was a breath of fresh country air, sweeping away heavy velvets and damasks in favour of crisp cotton chintzes, replacing glossy mahogany with painted Regency furnishings, elaborate porcelain and glitzy ormolu with modest pottery and painted tin. Even after the war, when he came to specialize in the decoration of architecturally important interiors, he continued to prefer 'humble elegance' and 'romantic disrepair' to pomposity.

This book examines and celebrates more than thirty years of innovative work by Kerry Hill Architects, a studio with offices in Singapore and Fremantle, Australia.

This multi-award-winning practice established its reputation with a series of exotic resorts in locations throughout southeast Asia, and also designed a brace of exceptional houses in the same region. These have been widely regarded as part of an architectural lineage initiated by Geoffrey Bawa, recognizable in a shared response to location through climatic strategies, the use of materials, and their form of construction.

Kerry Hill brings a deep understanding of the East to his increasingly refined contemporary architecture, and his work is made distinctive by the rich experience of his generous and tranquil spaces.

This is an unparalleled view into the world and thinking of an architectural practice that richly deserves international exposure.

Architecture on Florida's Key West reflects the diverse and colorful nature of those who have shaped this remote island's character: the grand classical homes of sea captains from New England, the cobbled-together wooden dwellings of ships' carpenters, the humble but charming cottages of cigar makers from Cuba. Today's equally varied population of artists, writers, and political figures contributes to that heritage by designing interiors and landscape that complement the vibrant tropical location, quirky isolationist tradition, and relaxed atmosphere.

In Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle, author Leslie Linsley presents the true character of this unique American place in twenty-two residences. Engaging anecdotes drawn from interview with homeowners, designers, and architects and lush, full-color photographs reveal the historic and contemporary interiors and gardens. Reflecting the style and personalities of their owners, these house simultaneously respect and extend a distinctive legacy.

This title provides a stunning visual that showcases of some the most creative and original designs for children. Filled with full-colour illustrations and photography, "Kids Design" provides readers with a stunning showcase of some of the most innovative and original designs for children's toys, furniture, and storage from around the world.

KITCHEN CENTRIC puts a new spin on the kitchen design book offering readers an art book, a fantasy book and even a bit of a field guide. Internationally known kitchen designer Mick De Giulio takes readers on a guided tour through 18 of his favourite kitchen projects in urban lofts, suburban homes, manor houses, mountain retreats, and an early 20th-century barn.

The tour of delicious photographs (shot specifically for the book by Hedrich Blessing Photographers) rolls through these kitchens, one after the next, like short films. Words are few but critical and a bit quirky like an excerpt out of De Giulio’s own designer’s journal. He takes his audience behind the scenes explaining his challenges, his thinking, his choices, his process, and, ultimately, his belief that kitchens are becoming more central to American homes and home life than ever before.
