McAlpine

The work of the renowned McAlpine firm has always communicated the power of romanticism, speaking directly to the heart through the beauty and poetry of the home. Drawing on diverse influences, the residences draw on architectural idioms ranging from Elizabethan and Dutch to colonial Caribbean and agrarian American. The book opens with Bobby McAlpine’s newly designed home, with exquisite spaces that are modern in expression yet classical in order and balance. Other projects include a white-on-white neoclassical pavilion in the Bahamas; a masonry dwelling in the hills of Virginia; a quintessential American cottage in Tennessee that combines the familiarity of a farmhouse with crisp minimalism; and a lush home set on the edge of a pastoral golf course in Alabama. Choosing freely from the treasure trove of architecture, the assembly of homes is familiar, bold, and surprising, all while reflecting the complexity of the human experience.
