Book Review: An Ideal Collaboration: The Art of Classical Details II

An Ideal Collaboration: The Art of Classical Details II by Phillip James Dodd
Published by Images Publishing
 
We use the word collaboration quite a bit, don't we? It's almost a catch-phrase now. Everyone and everything seems to be in collaboration with someone or something else. But true collaboration, which requires an understanding and appreciation of both roles is rare, and not often realized. When it is though - magic happens. That magic is what Phillip James Dodd shows us in An Ideal Collaboration: The Art of Classical Details II, his follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Art of Classical Details.
 
The book features projects where top interior designers and architects have collaborated to build amazing finished products for their clients. Homes where living is beautiful and functional and inspiring all at once. British born architect, Phillip James Dodd has a thriving architecture firm, and has a reputation as one of the foremost experts on classical architecture and interiors. To have him walk you through the pages of this beautiful book, is like having a seasoned docent walk you through a well curated museum. Each room is more beautiful that the one before it, and the knowledge you take away from the detailed narrative of the space is empowering.
 
An Ideal Collaboration: The Art of Classical Details II, tours homes in the United States, and the UK both inside and out. Let's take a look at some of the gorgeous spaces and gardens within:
