Since the release of his first monograph, Vincent Van Duysen has consolidated his reputation for buildings of exceptional spatial mastery and highly refined detailing, and built a growing international following. This beautiful companion volume presents thirty of the Belgian architect's most recent works produced over the past decade, much of which has been exquisitely captured by renowned photographers Helene Binet and Francois Halard. The buildings featured from this latest period include an array of elegant residences in Europe, New York, Paris and The Hamptons, as well as larger-scale commercial and public projects. Product and furniture designs, microcosms of the architect's rigorous attention to detail, are also featured, including yacht interiors and objets decoratifs. With a foreword by close friend and Academy Award-winning actor Julianne Moore, the broader context of Van Duysen's contribution to contemporary architecture is provided by architect Nicola di Battista and architecture critic Marc Dubois. An illustrated chronology provides a complete overview of the architect's recent projects. Van Duysen has established a reputation as one of the world's most refined and artful architects. This major new publication will further cement his uncompromising commitment to creating timeless places and spaces.

Francois Halard s first assignment, to photograph Yves Saint Laurent s legendary Paris apartment when he was 23, cemented his reputation as one of the most original photographic eyes of our era. More than thirty years later, Halard still captures our imagination with his breathtaking photographs of the glorious homes of the most important tastemakers, artists, and designers of the 20th century - including: Rick Owens (Paris), Dries van Noten (Belgium), Manolo Blanik (England). Giorgi Morandi House (Italy), De Menil House (Houston), Maya Hoffman House (Arles), Miquel Barcelo (Spain), Saul Leiter Apartment (New York), Glasgow Art School by Mackintosh, Raphael at the Vatican, Donald Judd (Marfa), John Richardson (New York). Many of these images were first published in Vogue and House and Garden, but many others will be seen here for the very first time. Like his first book, Francois Halard: A Visual Education, this follow-up volume will be a coveted, indispensible must-have visual resource for all lovers of interior style.
