For 20 years, Peter Pennoyer Architects has designed elegant, classically based homes in both urban and country settings in what Pennoyer calls “classicism with a twist.” The firm’s projects, distinguished by an inventive spirit and a thorough grasp of architectural history, are impressively diverse—ranging from a triplex on New York’s Fifth Avenue to a farmhouse in the Virginia countryside. The 20 projects featured in this stately volume illustrate the firm’s uniquely fluid style and its solid grounding in the classical idiom. A guided tour of each project allows an insider’s perspective of the space, lending further insight into the firm’s timeless designs.
