Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders is an integrated architecture and construction firm that designs and builds homes with timeless appeal and exceptional craftsmanship. The value of the art, craft and organizational skill the firm brings to every project has been widely recognized through local, regional and national awards for architectural design, preservation, construction, and business management. It is the relationships with, and accolades from, PSD s clients, however, that matter most and offer the strongest testimony in favor of its integrated design and construction model. John R. DaSilva is an architect, author, and the Design Principal at Polhemus Savery DaSilva. His award-winning work has been published world-wide. Bruce Snider, Senior Contributing Editor of Custom Home wrote of DaSilva: An architect so adept in visual and spatial expression... gives up none of his fluency in shifting to the written word. He is one of the few practitioners of his trade to be truly bilingual in this regard." DaSilva is a graduate of Princeton and Yale Universities.

With stunning photographs and informative text, the book illustrates the care and attention PSD gives to create homes and resorts that seamlessly blend the past with the way we live now.--Northshore Magazine
