From New Hampshire to Connecticut, Solvi dos Santos goes off the beaten track to discover a very special collection of houses. Turning away from the grand retreats of the very wealthy, she has sought out people with intensely creative imaginations - writers, artists, designers and architects - whose view of life is reflected in their homes in a very individual, stylish and elegant way. She explores a huge range of interiors from the rural homes of Bill Blass, Stephen Mack and Denis Kyte to the coastal residences of Jamie Wyeth and Nafterlin among others. Stunning photography encapsulates the spirit of these houses, while the interviews with the owners reveal their design philosophy and inspiration. A helpful guide to locations will show you how to discover this area so that you can experience the white-washed fishing towns and the glory of New England yourself.
