ROMANCE OF CLASSICISM (ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE) (HB)

One of the foremost classical architects of today presents a striking collection of his country houses in England designed over the past twenty years. While the English country house tradition often calls to mind vast historic estates, the dwellings featured in this book are more modest in scale - farmhouses, villas, and rural retreats. Each project demonstrates Saumarez Smith’s ability to unite the best of traditional architecture with the needs of twenty-first-century living, creating residences that feel both timeless and thoroughly contemporary.
