If you are at all interested in California Tuscan style architecture, this book is clearly the only one on the market that details what production and custom builders and architects are doing in the market today. It has great detail on materials and design that will help any homebuyer distinguish California Tuscan style. The Andulusian part of the part covers California Andulusian in the same or great level of detail.

The Lagoni/Bassenian team knows how to put together unique Tuscan design with a domestic flair. I have purchased most of the other Tuscan design books currently available, and this book is one of the best. Complete color photographs make it easy to imagine. Gorgeous just to use as a coffee table book even if you are not using it for ideas! I LOVE this book! Their other book, Pure California, is also worth the money. These guys know what they are doing, and with class! BRAVO!

I love this book. I was looking for Spanish influenced floor plans and this book is great. It gave me a lot of ideas. Pictures and floor plans.

If you appreciate Tuscan design, you will love this book. From start to finish, the pages are filled with beautiful pictures of incredible homes. The photos are taken in a way that you are able to take in all the details. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys seeing beautiful architecture and design.

This book is beautifully presented and features some truly amazing HUGE American houses. To me it's just a bit too glossy though. The golden lighting and hosed down grounds and roads to make everything that little bit more shiny goes against the gritty, rustic, traditional houses I was looking for from Tuscany and Andalusia.

If you're looking to build a house, there's some great floor plans and architectural notes though.

I truly love interior design, and this is one book that is beautifully done. I'm so very pleased with adding this book to my design collection. I highly recommend this one to anyone that would like more ideas and dreams for their homes.

Love It!

a very good book.Great photos and great new homes from California with a Tuscan feel.

Very nice picture book. I would have liked more information about traditional styles. How they achieved the look, what materials they used. The text was a bit annoying, I would have liked more details and less prose. By far the best book I have read is one titled Italian Rustic by Elizabeth Helman Minchilli. Use her book if you really want to know about Tuscan style.

First of all, let me say this: this book is great. It has a lot of informations, with floor plans and all. But the pictures...it's so depressing. They should have hired a better photographer. The pictures of the houses in this book certainly don't reflect the beauty of the architecture. Too bad.
