"Colonial bungalow" was the name applied to the new type of residence that became so popular in the 1920s on the Pacific Coast. It was no different from the ordinary bungalow in the arrangement of rooms and interior detail, with the exception of a more generous use of the sun room, and a liberal use of French doors between rooms instead of colonnades and paneled arches. The elimination of ceiling beams and wood-paneled walls is also noticeable. On the exterior, the wide low porches of a traditional bungalow are replaced by small entrance porches, pergola roofed terraces, and sun rooms. These design changes worked very well for the Pacific Coast.. Over 30 designs are featured in this book. Extremely scarce; currently the only copy available anywhere. (22590)   $300.00

In 1897, Wharton was a 30-something Manhattan society matron with a keen interest in architecture and interior design, not yet the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist she would become. Codman was a blue-blooded architect, with whom Wharton and her husband were remodeling a summer place in Newport, Rhode Island. Poor taste and vulgarity of all kinds reigned there, thanks to newly moneyed clans anxious to put their money to conspicuous use. Wharton and Codman decided to write a book about how to build and decorate houses with nobility, grace, and timelessness. Sound advice has timeless value, and the book's suggestions and observations remain insightful and inspiring. From the Old House Journal reference library (12041)   $200.00

No longer the material of choice for just factories and industrial buildings, concrete is now fashionable and chic, adorning shops, restaurants, homes, and landscapes with its desirable, tactile surfaces. This reversal of fortune can be attributed to its use in luxurious homes and the discovery that concrete can provide stimulating or soothing environments for a range of leisure activities. Organized around the themes of Home, Work, Play, and Landscape, all the examples chosen celebrate the intrinsic qualities of concrete and how they work to make the places in which we live, work, and play and to shape the wider landscape that surrounds us. A range of projects from around the world includes a private house in Osaka by Tadao Ando, Canary Wharf Underground Station in London by Foster and Partners, the Museum of Asian Art in Paris by Henri and Bruno Gaudin, and recent work by Morphosis and Antoine Predock in the United States.
