Granted unparalleled access, British-born, Los Angeles-based photographer Roger Davies takes readers on a visual tour of twenty-four glamorous, compelling homes of artists, film producers, actors, musicians, interior designers, art collectors, and others who lend the West Coast its cachet, including familiar names such as Sir Elton John, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Dempsey, Eli and Edythe Broad, and Michael S. Smith.

This new survey collects the most inspiring modern residences set within the stunning landscape of the Rockies, a region with a surprising but deep history of modernist design. Perched on cliffsides or nestled into verdant valleys, with expansive picture windows framing breathtaking vistas and local natural materials interpreted in new ways, these striking homes designed by a roster of regionally and internationally-renowned architects reveal modern living at its best in the mountains.

By Firooz Zahedi and Lorie Dewhirst Porter

A privileged peek at twenty extraordinary homes, villas, and mansions in the exclusive Californian seaside community of Montecito, this illustrated tome features more than 250 interior and exterior photographs by celebrity photographer Firooz Zahedi. Zahedi’s images are alluring, and his passion for these homes and gardens is palpable, as well as the design elements and art collections of these creative homeowners.

Long known as the sought-after summer retreat for the wealthy and glamorous, Long Island’s East End is also at the forefront of exceptional modernist and contemporary design. Showcasing eighteen residences from some of the most renowned designers of the region, this new book presents a selection of homes that return to modernism’s founding principles, and recast the region’s age-old respect for history, ecology, and artistry in a new light.
