Homes of Quiet Elegance by Wade Weissman
Don’t look to Wade Weissman if you want to live in a glass box or a white cube. The Milwaukee-based architect designs dwellings for clients around the country with an eye for a richer patina of history. His latest coffee table book is a lavishly produced and illustrated look at 11 recently completed projects in styles ranging from stately Georgian to comfortably rustic. Among the showpieces are a recreated Spanish mission-style hacienda in California and a midcentury home overlooking Lake Michigan rehabbed for 21st century values. Weissman draws from the past and looks to the future. One imagines his homes could endure for centuries.
