Outside In: The Gardens and Houses of Tichenor & Thorp

Description

A lavish volume celebrating the stunning homes and gardens designed by Brian Tichenor and Raun Thorp, a Los Angeles-based husband-and-wife team. Tichenor & Thorp design exceptional properties that integrate large-scale residences and luxurious gardens and landscapes into a singular, unified vision. Deeply fluent in historical architectural styles and the modern California tradition, the duo's projects resonate with individuality and precedent. Featured here are a Spanishinflected courtyard house and garden in Las Palmas; a Bel Air estate tinged with English and French influences; a Newport Beach hilltop hideaway that evokes a Portuguese quinta; a Pasadena retreat inflected with John Soane-inspired details; two luxe Manhattan apartments; and a mountain getaway in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Roger Davies and Brian Tichenor's own watercolors, drawings, and plans, and with a foreword by Pilar Viladas, Outside In shares "Hollywood's best-kept secret" with the world.

M. Brian Tichenor and Raun Thorp, both California natives, worked with leading Los Angeles architecture and landscape design firms before founding their own company. Judith Nasatir is the author of numerous books. Pilar Viladas is architecture and design editor at Town & Country. Roger Davies is an architecture and interiors photographer.

"The duo has quietly racked up a devoted following for their deft ability to incorporate the best of nature into their projects. In Outside In, this style is on full display in glossy photographs of the couple's homes beside conceptual sketches by Tichenor and thoughtful essays on the design elements at the core of their practice."-- "Architectural Digest"
