From the Land Backen, Gillam, & Kroeger Architects Hardcover Book

About the Item

From the Land: Backen, Gillam, & Kroeger Architects Hardcover Book. October 8, 2013 by Erhard Pfeiffer (Photographer), Stanley Abercrombie (Afterword), Diane Keaton. Elegant rusticity meets unpretentious luxury in the work of this award-winning architecture firm. Howard Backen, principal of the architecture firm Backen, Gillam & Kroeger, is at the center of a popular movement in home design that emphasizes elegant simplicity and embraces the rustic charm of natural materials. This volume, the first on his work and that of the firm, is an artful exploration of this aesthetic, featuring farmhouses in the Napa Valley, hilltop homes, seaside retreats, and lakeside hideaways. Throughout the work, a sense of intimacy, warmth, and informality pervades. Natural materials, such as wood, stone, and brick, form the foundations, walls, and ceilings of these subtly luxurious spaces, while nature itself plays a considered role that is at once complementary and also intricately conjoined with the work. Sensitive, alluring, and wonderfully resonant with the suggestion of invitation, the work of Backen, Gillam & Kroeger is both thrilling to the eye and restorative to the soul. From the award-winning architecture firm Backen, Gillam & Kroeger, comes a brilliant display of artistry in, From the Land. Their first book of work shows creatively thought out designs alongside natural materials, such as wood, stone and brick. Proudly displayed on your coffee table, this book creates beauty from cover to cover. • Dimensions: 11.3" L x 1.8" W x 13.3" H. • Hardcover: 456 pages.
