A Place to Call Home by Gil Schafer III

October 6, 2017

The saying “they don’t make them like they used to…” sadly rings true in today’s new home construction market… That is, of course, unless you are Gil Schafer, one of the most sought after, highly regarded architects of our time. Gil is a classical architect who builds homes “the way they used to” yet perfectly adapted for modern living. His second book, A Place to Call Home – Tradition, Style, and Memory in the New American House, follows up his bestselling The Great American House, and it not to be missed.  It includes 250 full color photographs of seven beautifully realized houses in a range of styles located around the country along with other never-before-seen projects, including exterior, interior, and landscape details.  A Place to Call Home pulls the curtain back on Gil’s distinctive approach, sharing his process (complete with accessible ideas readers can work into their own projects).

A Place to Call Home – Tradition, Style, and Memory in the New American House

A Place to Call Home invites readers into Gil Schafer’s world of comfortable classicism… a personalized blend between past and present.  Gil believes the most successful houses are the ones that celebrate the small moments of life—houses with timeless charm that are imbued with memory and anchored in a distinct sense of place. I couldn’t agree more!

Gils books, A Place to Call Home and The Great American House are available via Amazon. Click here to see a gorgeous Dutch Colonial from his portfolio, as featured in the September issue of Traditional Home, and here to see a home he worked on with designer Miles Redd.

    I think I’m going to add this book to my birthday gift list, for myself! I have Gil Sshafer’s first book and have really enjoyed it. Every time I see photos from this new one, I realize that I just have to have it! My husband and I are doing some much needed renovations to our home, and even though I don’t have the resources to have a home like any of the ones in his books, I get great ideas to use in my own home to create a similar feel.
    Thanks,
    Paula

    This is such a beautiful book with interesting and useful text. James Farmer came out with his wonderful book with the same lead title at about the same time! If you like this one you will most likely enjoy James’s also.
