Description: About this productProduct InformationCalifornia Romantica features the most important, yet rarely seen, residential exemplars of the California Mission and Spanish Colonial styles, by such noted architects as George Washington Smith, Wallace Neff, Richard Requa, Lilian Rice, and Paul R. Williams, among others. From whitewashed stucco walls and cloistered patios to tile roofs and sumptuous gardens, each house shown is a rare masterpiece, splendidly appointed with authentic Monterey furniture, California tile, and Navajo rugs. Among the magnificent seaside estates, canyon villas, and courtyard bungalows shown is Diane Keaton's former home in Beverly Hills, which she thoughtfully restored with noted designer Stephen Shadley, and for which she has been recognized as a committed preservationist. She brings her cinematic eye, a keen sense of natural drama, and a profound appreciation for the nuances of shadow and light to the elucidation of these buildings, through the selection of specially commissioned photography. Authoritative text by D. J. Waldie lucidly explicates the architecture and provides an intimate tour of a historic and distinctly Californian lifestyle.Product IdentifiersPublisherRizzoli International Publications, IncorporatedISBN-100847829758ISBN-139780847829750eBay Product ID (ePID)59074813Product Key FeaturesBook TitleCalifornia Romantica : Spanish Colonial and Mission-Style HousesAuthorDiane KeatonFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicBuildings / Residential, GeneralPublication Year2007GenreArchitectureNumber of Pages322 PagesDimensionsItem Length13.5in.Item Height1.3in.Item Width10in.Item Weight91 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberNa7235.C2Photographed byHardaway, Lisa, Hester, PaulText byWaldie, D.
