The extremely talented architect Jeffrey Dungan has written a beautiful design book. I have been following his exemplary work for quite some time, enjoying each storybook space, so I was thrilled to receive my copy!

There are 240 pages to pore over in this magnificent book, each one with something new and different to explore. Included are eight homes, ranging from a beach house on the Gulf Coast to a farmhouse in the Southern countryside.

The materials, texture, clean lines, and natural components are present in every creation. The extensive windows and large beams are my favorite details.

Below is just a small collection of images in this stunning book.  ENJOY!
