Combining an inventive spirit with an erudite grasp of architectural history, Peter Pennoyer Architects has been designing elegant, classically based homes in both urban and country settings for two decades. Twenty of the firm's residential projects are featured in this sumptuously illustrated volume, ranging from a triplex in New York to a Spanish Colonial Revival house in San Francisco, from a farmhouse in Virginia to a ranch house in New Mexico. Guided by Peter Pennoyer and Anne Walkers illuminating text, the reader will derive great appreciation for the firm's implementation of classical traditions and skilful adaptation of timeless design to modern life.
