Description
"Drawing from a wellspring of Classical traditions, Anne Fairfax and Richard Sammons are two of the most eminent architects practicing today. Since establishing their office in New York's historic Greenwich Village over a decade ago, they have developed a body of work that focuses on architectural beauty and reflects a variety of time-honored influences. Whether their designs are inspired by Palladian, Tuscan, Mediterranean, Georgian, Adam style, Neoclassical, British or Dutch Colonial, Colonial Revival, or even East Coast Shingle styles. Fairfax & Sammons appropriately and sensitively adapts these tastes to today's modern lifestyles." "With an insightful text by architectural historian Mary Miers and an introduction by repeat client of Fairfax & Sammons, Adele Chatfield Taylor, American Houses features twenty-four of the best examples of Fairfax & Sammons's work: twelve country houses located in Connecticut. New York, Virginia, and Florida, and the renovation of six town houses and six apartments in New York City."--Jacket.
