Nice House

Nice House
- Used Book in Good Condition
â‚¬Å“White's project descriptions are lucid, brief and hype-free, and they come stocked with floor plans. He describes terrain contours, materials and palette choices and circulation patternsâ‚¬Â¦This is a practical yet mouthwatering and aspirational study of architects helping people honor the streetscape, keep properties saleable and upgrade their home life by several respectable notches.â‚¬Â -- Period Homes

â‚¬Å“What makes a house nice? Â Architect Samuel G. White tells us: Nice houses arenâ‚¬t too big or too formal. They are neighborly, with harmonious proportions. They have inviting spots in which to read a book, take a nap or cook..â‚¬Â --New York Newsday

This is a book of houses where we all would like to live. The locations are diverseâ‚¬"New England, Long Island, Pennsylvania, Californiaâ‚¬"and the architecture encompasses both traditional and contemporary vocabulary. What links them is their livable scale and the architectâ‚¬s commitment to creating congenial spaces with a handsome and functional design. They are unassuming dwellings whose architecture moves easily to the background, supporting comfortable furniture, works of art from a variety of periods and styles, and the plantings and outdoor spaces that are essential to the composition.

These houses display grace and style inside and out. They invite a full range of activities fromÂ formal to informal, from celebration to repose, from a solitary existence to a house full of children or guests. These houses have good places to read a book or write a letter, to take a nap, and to cook and eat with family and friends.
