Summary: An extraordinary photographic survey
Review: Ann Heuer's Townhouses is an extraordinary photographic survey of the development of the townhouse and an inspiring volume for interior design ideas and concepts for remaking any home in emulation of this vintage style. Heuer presents a diversity of facade styles, architectural details, and distinctive outdoor spaces ranging from courtyard gardens to rooftop decks. Also covered are elegant light fixtures, door knockers and nobs, oversized furniture, paint treatments, decorative iron railings and more, all adding a period theme to a redesigned interior. Profusely illustrated throughout with spectacular color photography, Townhouses is a welcome and highly recommended complement to any personal or professional interior design reference collection.
