- Outstanding new book in the strong-selling New Classicists series — Premier classicists on the West Coast of America — A peek at the beautiful houses that Appleton has designed for the rich and famous, including many stars of the silver screen — Offers readers not only inspiration, but also a chance to dream — Features many exceptional colour photographs, clear drawings and plans, many depicting Appleton's famous classical detailing The design work of Marc Appleton's practice is a collaborative process with its clients, inspired by and responsive to their specific desires and needs. Frequently, it draws upon the time-honoured traditions of vernacular architecture, subtly reinterpreting them to evoke a presence of the past. The firm strives to avoid a repetitiously personalised style and is committed to the idea that architecture is a craft rather than an art, a process rather than an object. Appleton agrees with fellow Californian architect William Wurste's view that architecture is for people 'the picture frame, and not the picture'.
