About the Book

In Designs for Living, Roger H. Seifter, Randy M. Correll, Grant F. Marani, and Gary L. Brewer, who lead the residential practice at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, present fifteen houses the firm has completed over the past ten years. From contemporary interpretations of the shingle style to robust Mediterranean designs, the houses are stylistically diverse reflecting RAMSA's deep knowledge of history and precedent. Each partner provides insight into the design process and his individual approach to working with clients.

Houses are located in dramatic settings from Napa and Sonoma to the spectacular coastline of the Hamptons and New England. Whether overlooking the ocean or nestled into the mountainside, these remarkable houses reveal the architects' emphasis on the importance of context and their dedication to exploring the nature of place and environment. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its natural surroundings.

Connecting contemporary lifestyles to traditional American aesthetics, these residences are exceptional both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past--a dialogue the RAMSA partners believe lies at the heart of architecture.
About the Author: Over a thirty-five-year tenure at RAMSA, Roger H. Seifter has designed houses across the United States and overseas. He has completed a significant number of residential apartments, including several in the firm's own buildings such as 15 Central Park West.

Randy M. Correll has designed houses from New England to Los Angeles. In addition to his many houses in East Hampton, he has also been responsible for additions and renovations to the library and at Guild Hall, as well as the new Town Hall.

Born in Australia, Grant F. Marani came to New York to practice architecture in 1984. In addition to his houses in the U.S., he is currently involved in residential projects throughout Asia, ranging from single-family houses to large-scale neighborhoods.

In addition to his many custom houses and Life magazine's 1994 Dream House, Gary L. Brewer has designed academic buildings at Harvard, Brown, and the University of Virginia, as well as the Ocean Course Golf Clubhouse on Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

All four authors are Partners at Robert A.M. Stern Architects.
