Specifications
The bestselling author and popular American architect Gil Schafer returns with the latest installment of his trilogy on the virtues of living in American homes. Gil Schafer's work—one of the foremost experts in the field of contemporary traditional architecture—is appreciated for its elegance, charm, and strong sense of history and place. Since his last edition, Schafer has become both a husband and a stepfather, a change that has profoundly deepened his understanding of how a home should reflect and support the lives of those who live within its walls. Home at Last is a distillation of what he has learned and how he translates it into his work on houses that adapt to the evolution of life, depending on the needs of a family. The book includes homes he has designed in the storied Hudson Valley, on a hillside above Lake Champlain, on the windswept shores of Block Island, and on the coast of Maine. Schafer shares the stories of these homes and their owners, exploring the choices made for their architecture and interiors, and reiterating his guiding principles: how to create classically designed buildings that “live contemporary”; how to tailor buildings to different locales and lifestyles; the connection to the landscape; why luxury can coexist with simplicity and the traditional with the modern. With original photography by Eric Piasecki, combined with practical advice, Home at Last is a tribute to the power of the American home.
