Living by Design: A Country House and Garden

In this book, one of the world's leading designers takes us through his own country home and gardens as the ultimate example of his total concept of design. John Stefanidis began his career in London in 1967 and has designed homes all over the world for many prominent clients. His rustic country estate is a highly personalized adaptation of a number of farm buildings and the surrounding landscape. The Stefanidis trademarks are color and light, and he discusses his methods in detail in every room of the house as well as outdoors, showing how individual spaces are linked to the complete look. The garden complements the perfection of the house. Botanical details and a planting plan, including the formal and informal gardens and the herb garden, accompany this section of the book.
