From acclaimed architect and designer Keith Summerour comes an alluring new book of carefully crafted dwellings that redefine the idea of home for today.
 
When we think about what home is, many of us would say a house that is soulful and welcoming, a place with an inviting porch and a lush garden, a welcoming entryway and well-crafted living spaces that will nurture our private moments and expand to welcome guests. In this alluring new book, Keith Summerour shares nine houses, exploring their architecture, interiors, and grounds, to illustrate a new idea of home. Reinterpreting and making new his own Southern legacy that speaks both of aristocratic charm and homespun appeal, these homes range from rustic retreats that draw their power from the land to elegant manor houses, but all share extraordinary character and charm that nod to history while reflecting the way people wish to live in the world today.

Avery M. ★★★★★

I bought this for our renovation planning and ended up reading it cover to cover in a weekend. Summerour's writing on what actually makes a dwelling feel like home is thoughtful without being pretentious, and the photos of the crafted interiors gave me several ideas I'm stealing for our kitchen.

Riley ★★★★★

The photography alone is worth it—I've flipped through the chapter on open-plan living rooms three times now just for the light in those shots. Summerour balances big architectural ideas with details you can actually borrow, like how he frames a window seat.

Owen ★★★★★

Summerour's writing on what makes a house feel like a home genuinely changed how I think about my own space. The chapters on light and proportion alone were worth it, and the large format makes the architectural photos easy to linger over.
