Acclaimed architect Gil Schafer illustrates how he blends classical
architecture, interior decoration, and landscape to create homes
with a feeling of history. As a traditional architect, Gil Schafer
specializes in building new "old" houses as well as renovating
historic homes. His work takes the best of American historic and
classical architecture-its detailed moldings and harmonious
proportions-and updates it, retaining its character and detail
while simultaneously reworking it to be more in tune with the way
we live now-comfortable, practical, family-oriented. In his first
book, Schafer covers the three essential cornerstones of creating a
great traditional house: architecture, landscape, and decoration.
He discusses the important interplay between the interior
architecture and the fabrics, furniture, and wall treatments.
In-depth profiles build on these essays, including Schafer's own
new "old" house in the Hudson Valley; the renovation of a historic
home in Nashville designed by Charles Platt in 1915; and the
restoration of a magnificent 1843 Greek Revival mansion in
Charleston. Filled with hundreds of interior and detail shots, The
Great American House is an invaluable resource for anyone who loves
old houses and traditional design.
