“Panache translates as having ‘a dashing elegance of manner or style’ and that definition aptly describes this publication.” —Margaret McCurry
Dallas—21st Century Homes (Panache Partners, February 2012) is a striking showcase featuring the latest and most phenomenal residential designs of nearly 70 celebrated North American architects, many of whom are members and Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. Published by Brian Carabet and John Shand and distributed by Chicago-based IPG, the 456-page volume with upward of 400 vibrant images allows readers an exclusive glimpse into some of the finest high-end residential projects in the United States and Canada. Uniquely focused on the way people live in the 21st century, the book includes crisply designed layouts with large photographs depicting luxurious primary residences and vacation properties; interesting editorial offers rare insight into the architects’ motivations, inspirations, and thoughts on the conception of each home.
Visionaries across the U.S. and Canada unite in this momentous collection, which is organized by type of home: the intentionally flexible, often overlapping chapters span Single Family, Urban, Vacation, Sustainable, and Future categories. Though ranging from classical to avant-garde, all of the featured private residences have a distinct timelessness about them, a tribute to their creators’ foresight. Sure to delight are the memorable designs of California-based Steven Ehrlich, Chicago’s famous duo of Margaret McCurry and Stanley Tigerman, Quebec’s Bruce Anderson, Pietro Cicognani of New York, and Chad Oppenheim in Florida. As well, readers will enjoy the creations of major firms like Harrison Design Associates, Lake | Flato, and Optima, and the artful work of Jeremiah Eck, Robert Gurney, Brad Lamoureux, Mark de Reus, and Charles Stinson—not to mention dozens of their esteemed peers. The architects speak directly to readers in the captions, which accompany each of the featured interiors and exteriors. Readers learn why the architects chose certain styles or finishes, what type of lifestyle their creations respond to, and how they came up with the innovative twists that make their designs special.
Through insightful captions and breathtaking photographs, 21st Century Homes explores what it means to live in this day and age and celebrates the artistic contributions of nearly 70 highly regarded architects. The book includes a helpful resource index with short biographies and is intended for readers with varying degrees of expertise. The unprecedented compilation will engage casual readers, motivate those seeking inspiration, delight industry professionals, and prove itself a requisite addition to the finest of design libraries: personal, professional, and scholastic.
