Description
Celebrated for more than thirty years, Harrison Design is known for creating warm, welcoming homes that embody gracious living while embracing the needs of a contemporary lifestyle. Rooted in classical architectural traditions balance, scale, harmony, and refined proportion the firm reinterprets these principles through a distinctly Southern lens. Their work blends enduring styles such as the English manor house, Spanish Revival, and Palladian with regional vernacular motifs, resulting in homes that feel both traditional and uniquely Southern yet at the same time harmonious with the landscape. Each residence reflects the belief that classical design is a living, evolving art form that speaks beautifully to modern life. The book highlights ten exceptional retreats across Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and the California coast. These homes reveal Harrison Design s mastery of scale and material: expansive terraces designed for effortless outdoor entertaining, creamy limestone surfaces that capture sunlight, and interiors crafted to support elegant, everyday living. Every project begins with a deep understanding of how a family will inhabit the space, allowing the architecture, landscape, and interiors to work seamlessly together. Harrison Design captures the warmth, hospitality, and sense of place that define Southern architecture. This book is for everyone who celebrates classic design reimagined for today and designed to last for generations.
