Summary:
"Acclaimed architect Gil Schafer illustrates how he blends classical architecture, interior decoration, and landscape to create homes with a feeling of history. As a traditional architect, Gil Schafer specializes in building new 'old' houses as well as renovating historic homes. His work takes the best of American historic and classical architecture -- its detailed moldings and harmonious proportions -- and updates it, retaining its character and detail while simultaneously reworking it to be more in tune with the way we live now -- comfortable, practical, family-oriented."
