Robert Adam: Country House Design, Decoration & the Art of Elegance

The definitive book on the most influentialÂ English country house architect and designer.
Â
This beautifully produced book celebrates the work of Robert Adam, the great eighteenth-century architect who influenced generations by stamping his distinctive neoclassical aesthetic vision on the English country house interior.
Â
Lavish new photography provides a deeply visual exploration of Adamâ€™s most important surviving country houses, to which the author and photographer gained unparalleled access. Included are magnificent country houses such as Syon House and Harewood Houseâ€”styled and inspired by the ideal of the neoclassicalâ€”as well as Adamâ€™s castle-style Mellerstain and town houses such as Home Houseâ€” all captured in splendid detail. Original Adam design drawings, from Sir John Soaneâ€™s Museum, illustrate the boldness of planning, color, and creative interpretation of Adamâ€™s domestic interiors. A biographical and contextual account of Adamâ€™s life and work describes his unique design process, his patrons, and the legacy of his design achievement.
Â
This richly illustrated volume will appeal to designers and homeowners as well as traditional architecture enthusiasts, promising to become an important addition to any architecture and interior design library.
