To Keith Summerour, a house is meant to be soulful and welcoming - a place with an inviting porch and a lush garden, a warm entryway and well-crafted living spaces that nurture our private moments and expand to welcome guests. In this coffee table book, Summerour shares nine houses, exploring their architecture, interiors and grounds, to illustrate his idea of home. These homes range from rustic retreats to elegant manor houses, but all share extraordinary character and charm.
