Description

This gorgeously designed and presented book showcases a selection of the work of renowned architect, William T. Baker. The twelve beautiful homes featured in this book reflect Baker's keen eye for detail and in-depth understanding of materials and of the manufacturing process. For Baker, the beauty, appeal and comfort of a home are as important as its functionality. He says of his homes "Time is the ultimate arbiter of a design's success. If a work looks beautiful years after its inception, then you know you did something right. My goal is for my work to reflect the personality of its ultimate user and, in some way, the culture of its time."
