THE NATURE OF HOME: CREATING TIMELESS HOUSES
By Jeffrey Dungan
Photography by William Abranowicz
Rizzoli • $55

Architect Jeffrey Dungan explores eight houses – ranging from a beach house on the Gulf Coast to a farmhouse in the Southern countryside and a family home in the Blue Ridge Mountains – and shows his passion for designing homes enjoyed by today’s modern families. He marries authenticity, timelessness and shared experiences to reveal the rich patinas and natural textures that come with age. Thematic essays and more than 240 images showcase Dungan’s approach to architecture – and the elements and materials that honor “The Nature of Home.”
