Riassunto

PRIVATE ESTATES is a rare jewel in the world of architectural monographs, welcoming the reader behind the gates of some of today's most inspiring residential estates. Whether it is a contemporary manor, a French chateau, a beachfront villa or a modern mountain chalet, the internationally acclaimed architectural firm Landry Design Group has skillfully designed each project with an exquisite attention to detail and a keen understanding of their clients' unique lifestyles. The firm's ability to create within the influence of architectural precedents or to freely invent within contemporary parameters displays a unique talent that has attracted the attention of today's movers and shakers, including such notable clients as Eddie Murphy, Kenny G, Wayne Gretzky, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen. Graced with an introduction by Joseph Giovannini, text by Janet Eastman, over 400 inspiring color photographs and beautifully rendered drawings convey the unparalleled versatility and the inspired vision of Landry Design Group.
