Designer extraordinaire Stephen Shadley began his working life as a scenic artist at 20th Century Fox. Throughout a celebrated career (landing a coveted spot on the AD100), his work has been marked continually by the glamour of Hollywood as well as by a kind of visual storytelling that is richly informed by the world of the movie screen and by the artifice and allure of film’s great cinematographers. Inside, you’ll find numerous beautifully designed homes of Hollywood royalty, including: • Diane Keaton’s classic Beverly Hills abode • Robert Altman’s apartment in the legendary Pythian building on New York’s Upper West Side • Jennifer Aniston’s luxurious 1970s home in Beverly Hills • Three greenrooms Shadley designed for the Oscars and Emmy Awards • Plus much more in Southern California, New York, and beyond! Notable for their expression of an exquisite sense of style, Shadley’s designed homes are all expressions of a masterful sense of scale and an appreciation for understated beauty and refined materials that are ultimately warm, inviting, and serene.

Book Synopsis Stone Houses by : James B. Garrison
Download or read book Stone Houses written by James B. Garrison. This book was released on 2013-10-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Colonial Revival–style stone houses in bucolic settings—on hillsides, beside streams—and their inviting interiors, by the architect who popularized the beloved form. Stone Houses showcases a beloved kind of home that many of us aspire to own and live in—a place of warmth and security, of charm and romance. The stone house speaks to a very basic dream of stability and comfort, and the houses featured here represent the epitome of this dream. Built in traditional styles with artful construction and considered design between 1904 and 1943, these gems display the hallmarks we associate with the stone house, here polished and beautifully presented: deep fireplaces, thick beamed ceilings, wide plank floors, and country kitchens. Focusing on the work of the eminent architect R. Brognard Okie, who is credited with having greatly contributed to a popular appreciation and understanding of early American domestic architecture and who has had a lasting impact on American residential design, this book will both enchant the reader and serve as an unprecedented resource.
