Architect Samuel G. White tells us: Nice houses arent too big or too formal. They are neighborly, with harmonious proportions. They have inviting spots in which to read a book, take a nap or cook. - New York NewsdayThis is a book of houses where we all would like to live. The locations are diverse - New England, Long Island, Pennsylvania, California - and the architecture encompasses both traditional and contemporary vocabulary. What links them is their livable scale and the architects commitment to creating congenial spaces with a handsome and functional design.They are unassuming dwellings whose architecture moves easily to the background, supporting comfortable furniture, works of art from a variety of periods and styles, and the plantings and outdoor spaces that are essential to the composition. These houses display grace and style inside and out.They invite a full range of activities from formal to informal, from celebration to repose, from a solitary existence to a house full of children or guests. These houses have good places to read a book or write a letter, to take a nap, and to cook and eat with family and friends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52339466895648,"sku":"USED1580932878","price":51.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mME3pX1gL.jpg?v=1789117730","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nice-house-1580932878-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
