An English Vision
By Pentreath, Ben
Pentreath is renowned as one of the foremost designers of new traditional buildings and country houses in the world. In celebration of his London-based firm's twentieth anniversary, Pentreath presents his authentically, yet playfully, classical approach.. This is the first of Pentreath's books to present his own output in its entirety - from his personal residences in Dorset, London, and Scotland that brought him international fame to many old and new houses that he has designed and some of the larger, town-scaled projects that make his practice unique in the world of traditional design. Although the results range from his colorful and romantic versions of the English country cottage to traditional splendor, there are underlying ideas that inform the breadth of his output - a sense of scale, proportion, craft, detail, sustainability, and appropriateness - that have a universal relevance today.
