Intimate views into 20 houses by celebrity interior designers that define Hamptons style now.
This follow-up volume to the wildly successful Designing the Hamptons- Portraits of Interiors (2006) provides rarified glimpses into the private homes of America's most celebrated coastal retreat. Luxurious photography and a generous format present contemporary homes decorated by today's top interior designers including Jonathan Adler, John Barman, Michael Haverland, Thad Hayes, Tony Ingrao, Todd Merrill, Roman & Williams, and Joe d'Urso.
A range of projects, from postage-stamp-sized cottages to enviable estates in a predominantly modern vocabulary, show the best of Hamptons design today. Interiors display a carefully curated blend of traditional references with cutting-edge architecture and fantastic art collections, and all are finished by the land's famous light and ocean views. In some houses a sense of calm pervades and cozily appointed dining terraces with neutral color schemes look out over peaceful docks, while in others bright accessories and outsize outdoor fireplaces point to frequent and exuberant pool parties. In every case the design respectfully references the area's rich history.
This volume will inspire everyone who aspires to summer in the Hamptons, and provides plenty of design ideas for anyone with a beachside home of his or her own as well.
