Review

The Classical American House' a book published by Images Publishing features an insightful introductory essay by Phillip James Dodd and work by firms including Ken Tate, John Milner, Charles Hilton, and Timothy Bryant. (New York Spaces)

Full of beautiful photography, this volume showcases some of America's greatest residences designed in the classical style. (Town & Country UK)

A fascinating journey through American houses stretched for 350 pages, and the most pleasant thing about this is that during it you will have time to visit both the classic mountain house and the New York townhouse on Fifth Avenue. (Architectural Digest Russia)

The gorgeous tome encompasses everything everything from new-builds and renovations to urban abodes and rural retreats. (Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles)

Several Connecticut architects have a presence in The Classical American House. (New England Home)

The Classical American House includes dozens of exemplary architectural projects, rich in photographic details and architectural analysis, and is overloaded with inspiration. (Nashville Interiors)

A fine sampler of contemporary Traditional American residential architecture

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

The title of the book is somewhat misleading. It is not about Classical houses in America which, strictly defined, might be limited to Georgian and Federal style houses or even Greek Revival style houses or it might be limited to the Neo-Classical and Beaux Arts style houses of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries or it even might limited to the New Classical residential architecture of the late twentieth century to the present. What we have in this book is a gathering of works by various architects and their firms in a range of styles which includes Classical, Cotswold, Post-modern, and Neo-traditional.

Each firm presents a small representation of their work with a brief philosophical statement of their chief designer followed by gorgeous color photographs of their houses. Unfortunately, floor plans, not to mention elevations and sections or other drawings are missing, which is a serious drawback in my view, As a result, I give this book four stars instead of five.

Beautifully photographed high dollar gorgeous homes

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Beautifully photographed high dollar gorgeous homes. Nice quality. And some prestigious architects/designers. BIG disappointment - with the exception of one apartment, there are NO floorplans. There are thumbnails of each home's front elevations (along with photographs of these elevations) but no floorplans.
