The Ike Kligerman Barkley houses are not only gorgeous in every interior and exterior aspect, but they are also finely tuned machines for living. The attention to detail in the materials and architectural accouterments is exceptional, and not to be missed. If you want to learn how to build a great house in our time, and how to build an achingly beautiful home, from the outside in and the inside out, this is a book you mus. Beautiful design. Beautiful photography Philip Davis Beautiful design. Beautiful photography. A great addition to my architectural library.
