Stephen Sills is a true icon and recognized as a unique artistic voice in the design world. He is renowned for his ability not only to design innovative and beautiful rooms but also to establish a pervasive atmosphere of luxury and calm. This book is an in-depth look at several of Sillss most recent projects, stunning homes located in New York City; the West Coast of Florida; the Hamptons; New Jersey, and Connecticut, as well as Sillss own residences.

Each story begins with mood boards that explain the inspiration for the house. The houses are bookended by essays on topics important to Sills, such as architecture, craft, landscape, and types of rooms, from primary to functional to connective spaces. The book also features a reflection on the evolution of Sillss style, including his passion for material innovation and advice for the reader on how to continuously educate the eye.

It will serve as an invaluable resource for all design lovers and students.

Reviews

"Stephen Sills is the designers designer. He is the one decorators, interior designers and even fashion designers look to for cues on how to create interiors that defy trends and movements. Interiors that transcend time. It speaks volumes that the design legend Karl Lagerfeld was a client. In his latest book, Sills lays open his design process and gives an almost instructional approach to creating interiors with chapters dedicated to the primary and ancillary rooms of a house."FORBES.COM
