Focusing on classical architectural beauty, Anne Fairfax and Richard Sammons showcase their expertise through twenty-four diverse projects, including country houses and urban renovations. Their work embodies traditional principles of proportion and order, drawing from styles such as Palladian, Mediterranean, and Colonial Revival. The firm's office also served as a pivotal hub for classical architecture, promoting alternatives to modernist designs. Enhanced by new color photography, this volume highlights their commitment to timeless aesthetics across various regions, including Connecticut and New York.
