Contributions by Rachel Feinstein, John Currin and Hamish Bowles
The masters of recreating period rooms, Studio Peregalli compiles ten of their very best and most important projects to date in their new book, Grand Tour.
"Blending nostalgia for the past with curiosity for the present" is the essential design philosophy of Studio Peregalli's work.

Grand Tour is a movable visual feast with remarkable photography of grand rooms contrasted with beautiful details and exquisite craftsmanship.

A must-collect for all lovers of grand and exquisite architecture and interior design.

Serebriakoff was commissioned to create a series of exquisite watercolours of each room. The resulting 35 artworks are reproduced here. Pierre Arizzoli-Clementel provides a history of the house and a commentary on the decoration of each room.

Sudpsuez Home at Last: Enduring Design for the New American House by Gil Schafer III
Words by Gil Schafer III
Photographs by Eric Piasecki
Bestselling author and popular American architect Gil Schafer return with the final installment in his trilogy on the rewards of living in the American house.
The work of Gil Schafer—one of the world’s leading experts on contemporary traditional architecture—is beloved for its elegance, charm, and strong sense of history and place. Since his last book, Schafer has become a husband and stepfather, a change that has deepened his understanding of how a house must reflect and support the lives of those who live within its walls. Home at Last is a distillation of what he has learned and how he translates it to his work on houses that are adaptive to the evolution of life, depending upon a family’s needs.
The book includes homes he has designed in the mist-covered Hudson Valley, on a bluff above Lake Champlain, on the windswept shores of Block Island, and on the coast of Maine. Schafer shares the stories of these houses and their owners, exploring the choices made for architecture and interiors, and reemphasizing his guiding principles: how to create classical buildings that “live modern”; how to adapt buildings to different regions and ways of life; the connection to landscape; why fancy can coexist with simple, and traditional with modern.
With original photography by Eric Piasecki, layered with practical takeaways, Home at Last is a tribute to the power of the American house.

Sudpsuez Knole: A Private View of One of Britain’s Great Houses by Robert Sackville-West
Written by Robert Sackville-West
Photographed by Ashley Hicks.
Sumptuous photographs by designer Ashley Hicks capture the smouldering spirit of Knole, from the staterooms, which house possibly the finest collection of royal Stuart furniture in the world, to the private apartments and gardens to the behind-the-scenes labyrinth of cellars and attics.
Knole provides a window into English history. The characters who populate the pages—the grave Elizabethan statesman, the good-for-nothing gadabout at the seedy court of James I, the dashing cavalier, the Restoration rake, the 3rd Duke of the ancien régime—are all representative of their eras (members of a family described by Vita Sackville-West as “a race too prodigal, too amorous, too weak, too indolent, and too melancholy”). Vita's own disinheritance from Knole prompted her dear friend Virginia Woolf to pen Orlando, furthering the place’s fame and glamorous lustre.

Sudpsuez Le Parc de Groussay
Words by Arizzoli-Clémentel Pierre
Charles de Beistegui revealed Alexandre Serebriakoff as an exceptional interior painter by commissioning views of Groussay, which today testify to the elegance and refinement of his home. It is sometimes forgotten that his passion for building was not limited to the château he transformed and beautified, altering its façade and adding two wings. Alongside these decorative works, he undertook others in the park, where he had follies constructed in the purest taste of the 18th century. Thus, between 1950 and 1969, the garden became populated with a dozen buildings: a Tartar tent, aviary, Palladian bridge, column, Temple of Love, Chinese pagoda...
As he did for the interiors of the château, Charles de Beistegui asked Alexandre Serebriakoff to create watercolor views of these follies, which are presented in this book.
Pierre-Arizzoli-Clémentel studies here the history of the follies in the Groussay park. His research on their origins, Charles de Beistegui’s sources of inspiration, and the evolution of the various projects is illustrated with watercolor paintings by Alexandre Serebriakoff and numerous archival documents. He also examines unrealized or abandoned projects, many of which are still unknown to the public today.
With this work, Pierre-Arizzoli-Clémentel completes his study cycle on great decorators, a series that began with Émilio Terry in 2013, Georges Geffroy in 2016, and "Groussay" in 2019.

Sudpsuez Maine House I by Kathleen Hackett
Words by Kathleen Hackett
Photographs by Maura McEvoy
Explore the soul of Maine in some three dozen of its most original, authentic, and evocative houses. For several years, acclaimed photographer Maura McEvoy and art director Basha Burwell traveled the length and breadth of Maine in search of houses that capture the state’s singular character. These are not designer houses; they are homes created by the people who live in them, from artists to writers to fishermen, distinctive for their ingenuity, originality, and fierce individuality. Many are unchanged, inhabited by generations of the same family; some are ingenious conversions. As Kathleen Hackett observes in her eloquent text, these are homes that have a kind of visual wealth that money can’t buy, homes that define the very spirit of Maine.

Sudpsuez Pastoral Gardens
Words by Clare Foster
Images by Andrew Montgomery
Pastoral Gardens is a unique and ground-breaking book that crosses the boundaries of art, photography and design to explore some of the world's most beautiful, nature-led gardens. The pastoral garden is an intriguing contradiction. The word conjures up a rural idyll, with Hardyesque visions of a wild, untainted landscape - an idea that goes against the manicured expectation of formal or 'designed' green spaces. But our warming climate is propelling a monumental change in how we garden. Around the globe, garden-makers are responding to this new reality by creating remarkable, plant-filled spaces that are inspired by the untamed landscapes around us, building back habitats and increasing the biodiversity that has been lost.
Celebrating the astonishing beauty of wild landscapes, this book shows how we as humans can harness nature in our own gardens, exploring 20 gardens that embrace this bucolic ideal. Created by leading landscape designers, these gardens respond directly to the beauty of our natural habitats, with wildflower meadows and grazing cattle integrated into holistic spaces where the boundaries between a conventional garden and the wider landscape disappear. For the gardens that do not have the luxury of a rural outlook, it is the biodiversity within them that links their human occupants with nature.
Pastoral Gardens will appeal to lovers of art, photography and the natural world as much as it will to gardeners, designers and plantspeople. The essence of each garden is captured in over 250 breathtaking photographs by Andrew Montgomery with illuminating texts by Clare Foster exploring the history, design and planting of each garden. Four additional essays by Jinny Blom, Nigel Dunnett, Kim Wilkie and Tom Stuart-Smith consider the changing nature of garden design as the climate changes around us.
