Book Overview

The first book by architect Adams features houses that embody the resonance of tradition, the authenticity of craftsmanship, and the lasting beauty of natural materials.

Architect Adams has long had a passion for design. His appreciation for how things are made had its genesis in his childhood experiences on a farm in Asheville, North Carolina. As a boy, Adams always had a pencil in hand, sketching for hours. Today, it is his understanding of craft and response to place that sets him apart.

Informed by Adams's deep knowledge of historic precedents, proportions, and details, the homes featured in this book are imbued with soul, whether it's a charming house in the woods on the lake, a refined contemporary beachside retreat, or a traditional manor house in town. While the homes featured range in scale and style-- Tudor, Arts and Crafts, French country, Southern farmhouse--Adams imbues each with natural materials such as bespoke architectural details in millwork and molding, arched doorways, and oversized windows. He brilliantly weaves wood, stone, copper, and other natural substances through the interiors to create an effect that casts a spell inside and out. These are houses that are grounded in the past, designed for the present, and intended to remain beautiful and functional over the long term.
