Alexandra and Michael Misczynski, the wife-and-husband team behind
the Los Angeles-based AD100 design firm Atelier AM, are
standard-bearers for the concepts of quality and connoisseurship.
In an image-driven culture, where novelty and extravagance so often
masquerade as virtues, the Misczynskis remain steadfast in their
belief that true style can emerge only from substance.
Architectural Digest Atelier AM has been the go-to designers for
true connoisseurs since they opened their office in 2002. Taking on
very few projects each year, each Atelier AM home is a complete
masterwork where design and art are fully integrated into the
architecture and landscape for a rich and immersive experience.
Eight new homes are featured in this new volume, and each features
Atelier AM s signature reverence for patina mixed with the new:
reclaimed wood beams and well-loved vintage modern furniture pieces
mingles comfortably with century-old artefacts and antiques. The
projects in this volume show a deep understanding of design history
from Spanish Colonial and English Classicism to contemporary. The
mix of modern and ancient acknowledges and celebrates both the past
and the future of design. With photography by their long-term
collaborator Francois Halard, and insightful texts by Mayer Rus,
Houses: Atelier AM promises to be as rich and satisfying as an
Atelier AM home itself.

Enter a world of interiors by Atelier AM, where classical
proportions, varied finishes, and exquisite furnishings are
masterfully combined, resulting in bold yet tranquil environments.
A deft hand at creating interiors that mix materials, both
rough-hewn and luxurious, antique and modern, marks the work of
Alexandra and Michael Misczynski, the husband-and-wife team behind
the Los Angeles-based firm Atelier AM. Only ten years after
establishing their business, the couple has garnered a keen
reputation for creating environments that are sensory
experiences--visually sublime interiors enhanced with subtle,
textural palettes. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century furniture
commingle with modernist pieces and ancient objects. Background
colors and materials are muted and refined.Interiors Atelier AM
showcases a selection of residences--each exhibiting the firm's
skill at mixing furniture and objects with backgrounds such as
antique flooring and Venetian plaster, with bold and modern
results. Their high-profile clients include Katie Holmes and Tom
Cruise and the Michael Eisners. The photography of Francois Halard
beautifully documents each project, educating and inspiring a new
generation of interior designers and connoisseurs.
Founded in 1996 by Brian Messana and Toby O Rorke in New York City,
Messana O Rorke describe their particular brand of
minimalist-infected modernism as pragmatism, with their approach to
design capturing as much usable square footage as possible,
rigorously limiting the number of interior elements, and extracting
maximum impact from the chosen interventions. This distinctive
approach extends to their entire material vocabulary: white walls
stripped of mouldings, with recessed lighting at their perimeter;
honey-toned oak floors; highly polished stainless steel railings
and hardware; and marble fixtures and countertops and dark
limestone flooring in the bathrooms and kitchen. With their
masterful manipulation of space and judicious selection of
materials oak flooring wire-brushed and lightly limed to contrast
white walls but also to bring out its vivid grain, simultaneously
conveying the woodworker s craft and the rawness of nature;
statuary marble in a kitchen chosen for the painterly quality of
the veining; architectural photography and ceramic objects adding
sophisticated drama Messana O Rorke create complete environments of
simplicity and serenity.
Hailed as an icon in Hollywood, Madeline Stuart s work is
exceptional. AD wrote, in a city driven by artifice and spectacle,
Madeline Stuart celebrates understatement, authenticity, and
elegance without affectation. The daughter of Mel Stuart, who
directed Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (in which Madeline
had a cameo) and a decorator mother whose work was favored by film
stars, Madeline grew up part of the Hollywood elite. Her client
list has included Larry David, the late Nora Ephron, Fleetwood Mac
s Lindsay Buckingham, art collectors David and Susan Gersh, and
many more. In No Place Like Home, Stuart shares eight recent
houses, from her renovation of Cedric Gibbons s LA house to a newly
built Montana ranch to a Mediterranean-inspired home on the coast
of La Jolla, CA. All have been newly photographed for the book,
with oversized detail shots mingling with full rooms and exteriors.
Stuart shares her design process for each home, from her initial
vision through execution. Committed to the notion of timeless
design, be it modernist or traditional in inspiration, Stuart
brings her extensive knowledge base to every home she designs. Her
skill with scale, proportion and balance, along with her unexpected
combinations of furniture and elements and keen sense of history
and craftsmanship, result in richly layered residences that feel
authentic to their period and place, while remaining always
relevant, modern, and beautiful.
Steven Volpe combines a minimalist approach with a classical
sensibility and a connoisseur s appreciation for authenticity.
Adept at mixing pieces from different periods eighteenth-century
pieces combine with midcentury furniture and contemporary art, for
example Volpe brings a richness to his modern interiors. Volpe was
one of the first to champion loft living, moving into a 75-year-old
converted warehouse, but he brings his classical training into the
modern spaces he favours. I learned what was appropriate and
proper, and now I, too, can break those rules, he says. One of the
ways Volpe breaks the rules is by melding art with decor in his
interiors, endearing him to a sophisticated, artistic clientele.
This volume showcases ten recent projects, exploring work in a
range of spaces, from New York City penthouses and modernist
California homes to a traditional London townhouse. Each project
displays Volpe s refined sensibility and understated luxury,
showing how he creates thought-provoking environments that quietly
stimulate all the senses. With stunning photography and in-depth
essays by Volpe and Architectural Digest writer Mayer Rus, this
handsome volume offers inspiration and ideas to designers, art
lovers, collectors, and homeowners.
Cotton presents rooms that mix historical and modern influences,
resulting in luxuriously sleek interiors for casual, yet
sophisticated, living. The glam-orous spaces many designed for
art-world clients, including Cindy Sherman and Lisa Yuskavage are
anchored in tradition but reflect the relaxed sensibili-ties of our
time. Cotton shares his multiscaled approach to design successful
turns with his varied collections, which are often included in his
interior projects. Furniture, lighting, wallpaper, tableware, and
terra-cotta planters are part of his repertoire. Cotton s
industrial designs like his interiors embody an intelligence and
under-standing of design history. This book, the designer s first,
documents the groundbreaking work of a rising and notable talent
and should be in the libraries of designers and connoisseurs of
fine living.
Renowned designer and antiques dealer Richard Shapiro devotes his
first book to the art of creating refined, cultivated spaces that
transport their inhabitants to a heritage of distant lands and past
epochs. Designers and home owners who wish to endow homes with
authentic European charm and character will be inspired by
Shapiro's gift for creating genuine Old World savoir faire. The
book focuses on the two much-imitated homes and gardens of Richard
Shapiro, which provide a wealth of inspiration and a broad array of
examples related to living graciously with antiques, decorative
painting and other finishes, and marrying centuriesold building
materials with new construction. Shapiro shares ideas from his work
as a designer as well as lessons learned from years of collecting
and selling antiques and fine art. As a manufacturer of furnishings
with a distinctly European sensibility, he also brings to bear a
thorough knowledge of production processes and finishing techniques
that simulate authentic Old World archetypes. With exquisite new
photography, the book also functions as a master class, filled with
illustrations and takeaways for readers, offering practical ideas
and creative inspirations for imbuing a home with a romantic mood
and a timeworn sensibility.
David Wiseman is one of the leading American designers of his
generation. Produced in collaboration with the artist, this
monograph offers an in-depth look at his work, through Wiseman's
extensive archives, documents, and illustrations. The book features
photographs of his unique sculptural objects and environmental
installations, plus views of his studio and process--where the
unfinished sculptures and sketches reveal a true portrait of the
artist at work. The book also shows readers many of his immersive
creations that are in private homes and are rarely photographed.
Wiseman's goal is creating work that brings nature indoors, ranging
from small objects and sculptures to expansive installations. His
signature Radial Branch chandelier, made of bronze and sculptured
porcelain, is cast from fallen tree limbs he acquired on hiking
trails in Los Angeles. His signature patterns and motifs reveal his
deeply rooted love of the natural world--which is evident in
designs ranging from faceted blow-Bohemian-glass crystal tumblers
and porcelain vases to rugs, dining room tables, stools, and
benches.
