The Home Within Us: Romantic Houses, Evocative Rooms

by Bobby McAlpine (Author), Susan Sully (Author) Format: Hardcover
4.4 out of 5 stars (117)

Purchase options and add-ons

Architect and designer Bobby McAlpine creates idyllic houses that wed historical precedent with gracious modern living. His distinguished firms, McAlpine Tankersley Architecture and McAlpine Booth & Ferrier Interiors, are renowned nationwide for their talent in designing residences that resonate with nostalgia, fantasy, and a sense of place. Their dwellings—from country and seaside retreats to homes in historic American neighborhoods—offer favorite period styles with a timeless quality. Presented are over twenty houses in a variety of settings that illustrate concepts running throughout their work. Juxtaposing intimate spaces with lofty entertaining areas and combining unexpected materials, such as stone with thatch, are among the hallmarks of these prestigious firms. Examples include a Mediterranean-revival house with sleek factory-sash windows and classical Roman columns, a beach house with a vaulted hallway leading to a light-filled contemporary salon, and an unusual house that blends Scottish vernacular style with modern details. With lush photography capturing the romance of these houses, The Home Within Us is ideal for anyone wishing to be inspired by the poetic design of a romantic home.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Visionary architect Bobby McAlpine of McAlpine Tankersley explores the concept of home as emotional fortress. Well written with Susan Sully and featuring Mick Hales' photography of the firm's 'romantic houses,' this is a landmark design book." ~Veranda

"Published by Rizzoli, the Cadillac of architectural publishing houses, the book presents twenty-five houses in a variety of settings that illustrate concepts running throughout Bobby's work... With lush photography capturing the allure of these houses, The Home Within Us is ideal for anyone wishing to be inspired by the poetic design of a romantic home. The book is as beautiful as you would expect, and is an indispensable addition to the library of anybody who owns or admires a McAlpine-designed home. And that's just about everybody around here." ~Montgomery Independent

"Dozens of photographs capture the exterior and interior imagery with spectacular results. The book is a must-read for every design or architecture enthusiast." ~Romantic Homes

"McAlpine has forged a reputation for marrying the classic with the modern in both architecture and interior design. And that's the thread that ties together the 25 homes featured here: From a Mediterranean revival estate to a Cape Dutch beach house, every space gives a nod to the past while fitting seamlessly in the present." ~Luxe

"The Home Within Us, a luscious anthology of architect and designer Bobby McAlpine's work, evokes a sense of romantic home décor entwined with gracious modern living. The pictorial folios accompany McAlpine's own insights on his designs, which results in a memoir-like tour through some of his most notable work." ~Mpls St Paul magazine

Born in an Alabama sawmill town, Bobby McAlpine designed his first house at the age of five and hasn’t stopped since. Architect, romantic, poet, and entrepreneur, he envisions home as a timeless, graceful, and emotionally evocative place. From the time he founded the firm in 1983, he has realized this ideal in a diverse array of traditional styles and regional vernaculars for clients all over the country and abroad. Today, known simply as McALPINE, the firm now embraces a brilliant and eclectic family of architects and interior designers with offices in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and New York. They have been listed on Architectural Digest’s AD100 and Elle Décor’s A-List. Their designs include hundreds of residences, restaurants, private chapels, follies in a public park and on private lands, hotels, a school, a rehabilitated town, and a family compound on a private island in the Caribbean. Their extensive portfolio has been widely published in several books and many periodicals including VERANDA, ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST, HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, SOUTHERN ACCENTS, ELLE DECOR, SOUTHERN LIVING, HOUSE AND GARDEN (both US and British editions), GARDEN AND GUN, COASTAL LIVING, MILIEU, and TRADITIONAL HOME. Bobby’s popular furniture line, McAlpine Home, is available nationwide. He holds both architecture and interior design degrees and he continues his lifetime of learning in the world’s classroom. Bobby’s critically acclaimed first book, The Home Within Us (2010), quickly became and remains a Rizzoli bestseller. His second book, Art of the House (Rizzoli 2014), was co-authored with his interior designer Susan Ferrier. His third book, Poetry of Place (Rizzoli 2017) outsold previous bestselling books. The fourth book, McALPINE Romantic Modernism, is now out.
