Frances Empire period, guided by the grand visions of the Emperor Napoleon and the more domestic ones of Josephine, was one of the most sumptuous and creative epochs in French furniture and interior design.

By 1800, Neoclassical architects Percier and Fontaine had left an indelible mark on the Imperial residences and on the homes of the countrys leading families. The elegant sensibility of this period reflected a nostalgia for the treasures of ancient Rome and Egypt and resulted in the creation of harmonious interiors to match equally fine facades. Bernard Chevallier takes the reader on a detailed, room-by-room tour through the finest Empire antechambers, bedrooms, libraries, salons and beyond.

This beautifully illustrated volume will be a captivating read for historians, decorators and art lovers alike.

"(…) Le Dictionnaire raisonné de l’Architecture comprend 10 volumes de 450 pages chacun en moyenne, soit environ 4000 pages de texte illustré de 4500 gravures sur bois. Outre le texte fort intéressant et vivant, c’est cette iconographie qui donne à l’ouvrage l’essentiel de son intérêt. (…) Nous avons ainsi sélectionné les principaux passages du Dictionnaire raisonné de l’Architecture écartant ceux qui étaient trop techniques et les courtes rubriques ne comportant que du texte. (…) Sur les 4500 gravures originales nous en avons présenté 1335 dans le présent volume et quelques centaines dans le tome 2. Nous pensons que l’essentiel du Dictionnaire raisonné de l’Architecture est ici présenté… Avec ces deux volumes de l’Encyclopédie médiévale qui reprennent l’essentiel des deux Dictionnaires de Viollet-Le-Duc avec 1440 pages, nous avons publié plus de 3000 dessins !" / Georges Bernage

How is an energy efficient building created? Which are the most important criteria pertaining to urban development or the conception of the floor plan? What are the optimal dimensions appropriate for the building’s usage but also ensuring energy efficiency? Which building elements and systems are most suitable?

This book systematically explains all relevant criteria and parameters as regards urban development, design and the subsequent construction of a sustainable building. The immense potential for cutting costs by modernising the energy systems in old buildings is also demonstrated.Completed projects are presented according to their usage and are analysed and evaluated in the light of the above criteria. For this purpose extensive plans and technical information are used to illustrate the "energy profile" of each building. This shows the particular importance of planning details carefully. An annotated subject index concludes the volume.

While the efficiency and sustainability offensive is in full swing in most sectors of the economy, in the construction sector it is still in its very beginnings economically as well as ecologically. However, politicians and policymakers at the global, European, and national levels have begun to address this deficit and are seeking to correct it with legal requirements and laws like EnEV, building certifications, and competitions. Following the proven model of earlier manuals in the series, the Energy Manual presents a comprehensive look at the constructional parameters of energy efficiency and sustainability. It offers an advance look at the legal regulations being planned by the EU, and as a tool ready for immediate use by architects, engineers, and designers in their daily work it points the way toward the efficient and sustainable construction and operation of buildings. With its focus on the entire lifecycle of a building, it provides an integrated perspective a necessary prerequisite for sustainable economic management.

Featuring stunning escapes selected for their unique views, unrivalled décor, and one-of-a-kind ambiences, this book is the perfect gift for both the sophisticated traveller and interiors aficionados.

Travel journalist and hotel expert Meg Nolan van Reesema has explored England from London to the Lake District for its most pampering, exclusive hideaways. Oxfordshire’s Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons is one of England’s most prized destinations, with its 2-Michelin–star cuisine and the manor house’s French-inspired rooms featuring luscious silk fabrics, mullioned windows, and four-poster beds. Just an hour outside London, the stately Hartwell House ensures a peek into the grandeur of England’s former estates: each room offers original details, antique furnishings, and massive Georgian windows overlooking the property’s parkland, complete with grazing cows and a small river filled with swans.

With more than 200 original photographs of stunning interiors set against romantic English landscapes from the moors to the seaside (the book includes properties in Cornwall, Devon, York, Wiltshire, the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Norfolk, The Peak District, East Sussex, Lancashire, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland, Middle England, Lake District, and London), the book is an invaluable guide to the finest escapes in England.

This all-embracing and well-illustrated survey provides an even-handed, straightforward history of English architecture from Anglo-Saxon times to the end of the 20th century. Concentrating on buildings that can still be seen today, David Watkin discusses all the styles and periods of English architecture, including Norman, early Gothic, Perpendicular, Jacobean, Baroque, Classical Revival and Victorian.

The emphasis is on the high points of English creative genius as expressed in the art of architecture by Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren, John Soane, Edwin Lutyens, Richard Rogers and a host of others. This updated edition includes a new preface, a revised bibliography, and an expanded chapter on the Modern Movement and more recent styles that brings the story up to the present.

In English Decoration, London-based architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents a major new survey of the best of the English style.

Eighteen homes, many of which have never been previously photographed, provide the source material for his wide-ranging investigation of this classic look. The houses include Ben's own homes in London and West Dorset, alongside those of Earls and artists, writers and architects, book designers and gardeners. The book is arranged room by room and Entrance Halls, Living Rooms, Kitchens and Dining Rooms, Bedrooms and Bathrooms are considered in turn, together with simple Rooms of Utility and spectacular Rooms of Display.

The book begins with an essay on the English style in decoration and ends with a style directory, helping you to achieve the look wherever you live.

English Eccentric celebrates that interplay, visiting the homes of artists and designers, a director of wildlife documentaries, a hairdresser, a politician, and a ringmaster — people with a strong sense of the visual and the courage and flair to be original. Ros Byam Shaw looks at 14 different homes in a wide variety of styles, from a tiny cottage packed with circus memorabilia, to an elegant country house full of stuffed animals.

None of the interiors featured are at the extreme end of eccentricity but all of them provide a multiplicity of inspiring ideas, whether through their vibrant mix of color and pattern, their imaginative use of space, their witty juxtapositions of old, new, upcycled and homemade, or their novel and eye-catching ideas for display.

English Eccentric is a book about interiors that will amuse and inspire in equal measure, and about people whose creativity, rather than wealth, informs their take on interior design.

About the Author

Ros Byam Shaw is a former Features Editor of The World of Interiors and the author of Perfect English, Perfect English Cottage, and Farrow & Ball Living with Colour (all Ryland Peters & Small). She lives in Colyton, Devon.

Private houses, museums, restaurants, pubs, a former cinema, and numerous little-known treasures jostle for attention in this beautifully photographed collection of weird and wonderful interiors in England.

Often featuring deliberate references to the tastes and styles of bygone eras, all the interiors are united by a wonderful blend of vivacity and individuality, and display a great deal of passion and dedication in the creation of a unique space. At the same time, these interiors feature a diverse assemblage of traditions and tastes from every corner of the world, reflecting not only the historical make-up of British society but also the far-reaching knowledge-base upon which the creators of these glorious interiors have been able to draw.

From a bizarre magician's house in London to a wildly entertaining hotel in rural North Yorkshire, there is ample evidence of the creative output resulting from this heady mix of enthusiasm and expertise. Historical fantasies sit alongside glorious 21st-century expressions of maximalism, from Walpole's stunning 'little play-thing house' at Strawberry Hill in Twickenham to the newly opened Great John Street Hotel in Manchester where the style is joyfully described as 'New York meets vintage chic.' Quirky, intellectual, stylish or humorous, all the interiors in this book serve as a glorious testimony to the richly creative tradition of English eccentricity, past and present.

For over a century, Country Life has been an influential force in the world of garden design, chiefly as a result of its weekly articles on country houses and gardens illustrated with specially commissioned photography. The magazine’s unrivalled archive of photographs is the key source for this comprehensive history of the changing styles of garden design during the twentieth century. Gertrude Jekyll was one of the first contributors and advisors to Country Life, and in her wake a succession of gardening and architectural editors has used its pages to champion a favoured garden style. Tim Richardson, himself a former gardens editor of the magazine, has drawn on this remarkable legacy to produce the first serious study of English garden design in the twentieth century. The story begins with Arts and Crafts gardens, typified by herbaceous borders and modern planting, and continues with the Edwardian debate between formality and ‘wild’ gardening, interwar grandeur, post-war practicality, and finally the emergence of visionary and pioneering artists’ gardens.

Covering the entire golden age from 1100 to 1530 and spanning all regions, here are over one hundred windows and panels in astonishing new detail. Nothing significant is omitted and the most important monuments, including the cathedrals of Canterbury, Wells and Lincoln, as well as York Minster and many others are covered in extra depth.

Stained glass is one of the glories of medieval art, and much of the finest glass can be found in England. Intensely moving in its beauty, startling in its colours and fascinating in its imagery, it has for centuries captivated visitors to churches and cathedrals.

Like English literature and English manners, the English style of decorating has been copied and admired for generations around the world. It may be found in an elegant town house with Art Deco features, a Victorian terrace house with original William Morris wallpaper or a graphically severe attic studio.

Suzanne Slesin and Stafford Cliff provide a singularly beautiful and evocative look at the English ways of decorating. Presenting more than 600 colour photographs, English Style examines a myriad of styles with chapters on classic English homes; city houses; flats and studios; conversions; country houses; collecting and English style abroad.
