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.

{PRETITLE} From the Land: Backen, Gillam, & Kroeger Architects {POSTTITLE}

This book is GREAT for designers and Architects. It's a nice big book with floor plans and tons of unpublished pictures, so there's something fresh to check out. The mostly wineries and winery residences pictured here make you really want to move to Napa Valley, California. I have a friend who works at this firm and is pictured in the back, and I was so happy with the book I had to email him and congratulate him on such great work. Love it.

I live in Sonoma County in California. This is a beautiful book that truly reflects the beauty of this area. However, I was hoping for a book that focused more on residential architecture. Over half of the photos are actually of wineries. If that is what you want, this is a great choice.
