CREATING HOME Book
Author: Keith Summerour – Photographs by Andrew Ingalls and Gemma Ingalls – Text by Marc Kristal
In this captivating new book, renowned architect and designer Keith Summerour presents a selection of carefully crafted homes that redefine the notion of home for our time.
When we think of home, many conjure up images of a warm and welcoming place, with an inviting porch, a lush garden, a curated entryway, and thoughtfully designed living spaces—spaces that nurture our intimate moments while also opening up to welcome guests. In this alluring book, Keith Summerour shares nine homes, exploring their architecture, interiors, and landscaped surroundings to illustrate a new vision for home.
Reinterpreting its Southern heritage with a contemporary sensibility that blends aristocratic charm and rustic simplicity, these homes range from country retreats rooted in nature to majestic stately homes. All share an extraordinary character and charm, paying homage to history while embodying the aspirations of modern living.
Enriched by the work of some of the greatest contemporary interior designers—including Beth Webb, Barbara Westbrook, Circa Interiors, and Liza Bryan—as well as world-renowned landscape designers like Jeremy Smearman and John Howard, and beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen photographs, Creating Home is the ultimate dream book.
