Architecture and design writer Marc Kristal’s The New Old House presents 18 private historic homes, from North America to Europe, and traces the ingenious ways architects have revitalized and refreshed them for a new generation.

Foreword by Gil Schafer III

Most of the renovations occurred in the last decade, but all of the homes featured in this book have origins reaching back into the past, in some cases hundreds of years. Projects and firms featured include Greenwich House, Allan Greenberg; Longbranch, Jim Olson; Astley Castle, Witherford Watson Mann; Hunsett Mill, Acme; Cotswolds House, Richard Found; plus more than a dozen others.

These projects address such timely factors as sustainability, multiculturalism, preservation, and style and demonstrate the unique beauty and elegance that comes from the interweaving of modernity and history.

“A book that deftly stresses the best-of-both-worlds approach that underlies a tasteful renovation.” —Monocle
