A Love for Home

If you have a home renovation in the works, or simply love to look at gorgeous photos of flawlessly styled spaces, add this to your summer reading listโ€”The Fine Art of Designing a Home: Wadia Associates. From pretty backyard retreats to elegant, but-livable interiors, the 376-page book showcases the work of Wadia Associates, a New Canaan, CT-based architectural firm headed by renowned architect Dinyar Wadia. Released in June, this marks the second book for the firmโ€”and this latest tome provides an in-depth look at how they achieve their designs, including drawings. While the firm is known for its traditional aesthetic, the book also features some unexpected contemporary apartments to add to the inspiration.
