Description

Step into the airy, lightfilled, exquisitely detailed homes of the Floridabased firm Moor, Baker Architects in this first book on their work

Over the past 30 years, Peter Moor, Mary Juckiewicz, and Chris Baker, the principals of Moor Baker Architects, have gained a stellar reputation for creating timeless houses that prioritize clients' preferences, climate considerations, and site-specific issues. As the 11 projects featured in this first monograph of their work demonstrate, they are an "everything matters" firm, down to the doorknobs and hinges. They care about craftsmanship, choosing materials that improve with age, and, most importantly, designing homes that their clients will cherish. The work of the Florida-based firm is exemplary for warm climates, emphasizing airiness, openness, and an indoor-outdoor flow. Illustrated with Jessica Klewicki Glynn's limpid photographs alongside site/floor plans and prismacolor renderings, and featuring well known designers such as interior designer Tom Scheerer and landscape architect Mario Nievera, House Love is sure to endear and endure.
