The Rustic Home explores the mythical and romantic West through the architecture and artistry of its residents.

Kylloe s luxurious photography reveals how the West s rugged environment has influenced modern architecture with romance, lore, passion, and history.

Who has not dreamed of an idyllic house in the country? Rustic architecture is the expression of an aesthetic concerned primarily with the informal beauty of the natural world. Often set upon craggy peaks, on cliffs overlooking wild seas, beside calm riverbanks, or in the depths of old forests, houses in the Rustic Style engage the eye and rouse the poetic soul by means of picturesque siting, evocative landscaping, asymmetrical architectural compositions, and often wonderful vernacular detail that reveals evidence of handmade work, including uneven floor boards, sloping ceilings, rough-hewn and textured surfaces of plaster, stone, rubble, and wood. In Rustic, Bret Morgan illuminates this much-loved style, giving us the definitive volume on the subject. Comprehensive in scope, Rustic features historically important houses from across America, some small-scale, some larger, from the sublime Ames Gates Lodge of 1881 in North Easton, Massachusetts, designed by H. H. Richardson, to the Arcadian masterpiece Ridge House of 2001, in Spokane, Washington, by Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen. A beautifully photographed and astutely written volume, Rustic is destined to become a much-cherished companion for those whose love of the woodlands is matched only by a love of home.

This book features Japanese inns, or ryokan, both old and new-from inns with a history dating back a thousand years to modern inns with the latest facilities that nonetheless capture the spirit of old Japan. Each of the properties has been handpicked by the authors for their strong design aesthetic, commitment to service and purity of their spring waters. The photographs showcase the resorts at their best, and accurately express the unique architectural design of each ryokan.
Each chapter begins by introducing the area surrounding the inns and their spas, or onsen, and provides a background of its local history, culture and traditions, as well as the natural environment. The text provides information on the design and development of each ryokan, and descriptions of the owners and their clientele. For those planning a visit to an onsen, this book provides contact details and information on the number of rooms, type of facilities and food, as well as vital information on travel and booking procedures and whether English is spoken. For those fascinated by Japanese culture and design, this book is an absolute delight.

In recent years, Saint-Tropez, a heavenly spot on the French Côte d’Azur, has evolved into one of the most sophisticated holiday destinations for the Jet set. Initially, under the impetus of the many celebrities and wealthy citizens who lived there during the summer months, many luxurious holiday homes were built in a Provencal or Italian-inspired style in Saint-Tropez. Lately, this has changed: under the influence of local architects but also of the cosmopolitan population of the port town a resolutely contemporary design, both sober and timeless, pure and modern was resolutely chosen.

The renowned interior designer Sandra Cerfontaine, the creator of Alessandra Home Interiors in Saint-Tropez, introduces us to the exciting world of contemporary design in her home town: exclusive, never-before photographed homes that bathe in a contemporary and timeless atmosphere. A unique source of inspiration for anyone wanting to settle on the Côte d’Azur. With an introduction by Daniel Hechter, the celebrated French couturier, who also guides us first through his own home in Saint-Tropez.

Living by water appeals to an almost universal desire to become one with nature.

Whether it’s an exclusive villa on the Costa Brava, a modern holiday home in Cape Town, a beach house in southern Europe or an idyllic residence in Australia, the owners and their (interior) architects always go in search of the essence of what it means to live in close contact with the sea: a relaxed way of life, simple and pure, modestly in keeping with contemplation of the constantly changing natural elements and the infinite horizon.

"We would like to take you with this book on a journey to some of the most beautiful and purest places on the globe. Skies are cerulean blue. Follow us as we set sail for distant, dreamy shores."

A house on the sea is something that many people dream of. This book takes you to the most beautiful locations in the world where the dream became true: full-page colour photos show places such as Øresund, the beaches of Mykonos, the dunes of the Hamptons and the coast of Brazil. Villas designed by famous architects like Poul & Hanne Kjærholm are presented, but also low-budget paradises built by the owners themselves, including a kind of Robinson Crusoe hut hidden in the tropical jungle on the coast of Costa Rica.

Explore the fabled beauty of Sera Hersham-Loftus's renowned interior decorations. The innovator of the seductive boudoir trend, Sera shows us the best of her design style adapted to a wide range of settings, including her own home, which has become one of the most popular locations for fashion, celebrity and interiors photo shoots. She has transformed everyday rooms into dream-like parlours and intimate hideaways, drawing on the idea of seductive meeting places for romantic rendez-vous as inspiration. Sera's elegantly Bohemian and hedonistic atmospheres are laced with an edgy rock'n'roll feel, attracting a cult following for her style all over the world. Intoxicating mixtures of crumbling antique furniture alongside huge blown-up black and white photos of her favourite rock stars fill the space. Both dark and light salons take on an air of seduction once decorated with Sera's trademark touches, from the enchanting soft lighting created by her 'Rude' lampshades - fashioned out of lingerie laces and trimmed with exotic chandelier drops - to her exquisite handmade wallpapers, inspired by opulent Parisian style. Including stunning photography by Gisela Torres, this provocative book perfectly epitomizes the spirit of Sera's seductive interiors - intensely sensual, delightfully playful, sublimely elegant and always filled with soul.

Современный интерьерный рынок переполнен решениями – от классических до концептуально-абстрактных, и это делает безумно сложной задачу создания чего-то пригодного для эксплуатации, но при этом небанального. Мастерская Эстрина справляется с этим великолепно: среди множества ее проектов нет ни одного, который не соответствовал бы своей функции с точностью до миллиметра, при этом оставаясь неповторимым. Такой эффект достигается благодаря тому, что в основе работы Мастерской лежит простой принцип: каждый проект должен, как человек, иметь свой собственный характер, отражающийся в каждой детали. Именно поэтому тщательной проработке подвергаются не только сама концепция объекта, но и материалы для его реализации. Если того требуют идея и характер, новый материал всегда можно изобрести. Самое большое достоинство Мастерской Эстрина – умение одинаково блистательно делать и пентхаузы, и бюджетные офисы. Это делает их привлекательными как для крупного и малого бизнеса, так и для частного заказчика. А это, согласитесь, дорогого стоит.
