Description
This lavishly illustrated monograph features twenty-seven select homes designed and built by the firm Polhemus Savery DaSilva. With clear coverage and insightful comments, each project is a unique work of architectural art, and designs reflect a deep understanding of architectural history, contemporary living, and tectonic craft. Synthesising ideas from modernism, Shingle Style, and New England vernacular architecture, with the execution of forms, spaces, and details reflect creative invention within a familiar language.
The work of Polhemus Savery DaSilva (PSD) synthesises ideas from modernism, Shingle Style, and New England vernacular architecture into special homes that are carefully crafted for each different site and client. PSD's poetic architecture reflects on the joy of living by the New England coast, and this major new monograph, The Art of Creating Houses: Polhemus Savery DaSilva, beautifully presents that work and the ideas embodied within it. This lavishly illustrated and clearly written coverage of PSD's most recent work features twenty-seven select homes designed and built by the firm.
This stunning volume also contains a foreword by Brian Vanden Brink; an introduction by Victor Deupi, PhD; and text by John R. DaSilva, FAIA, the firm's Design Principal. This new volume is a brilliant companion to the firm's earlier monographs, namely Living Where Land Meets the Sea, Shingled Houses in the Summer Sun, and Architecture of the Cape Cod Summer.
