A collection of nine contemporary homes by architect Celeste Robbins, who imbues her modern designs with warmth and emotion
In her first monograph, Chicago-based architect Celeste Robbins proves that contemporary design can be inviting, comfortable, and graciously responsive to how we live. Illustrating Robbins's holistic vision, which integrates architecture, interior design, and landscape, The Meaningful Modern Home features nine significant projects realized in different styles and natural materials. While they are located across the United States, the residences express a modern point of view rooted in a vivid sense of place and vernacular tradition that has universal resonance.Celeste Robbins is the principal of Robbins Architecture, a Chicago-based architectural firm specializing in residential work. The firm s projects have been featured in numerous publications such as Architectural Digest and Luxe Interiors + Design and have garnered several AIA awards, the Sub-zero Kitchen Design Contest, and Luxe Red Award. A graduate of Cornell University, her work has become known for its modern livability, warmth, and timeless beauty. Jacqueline Terrebonne serves as the editor in chief of Galerie magazine. She has also held editorial roles at Architectural Digest and Gourmet, and has written five books on design and architecture.
