### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Get for Traditional Design
*by A***R on November 14, 2016*

What a great book! One really gets a complete overview of each particular homes design starting with the exterior, then showcasing its' setting (gardens with exterior structures) and revealing how the owners have decorated for today's lifestyle all the while honoring a classic decor. The photos are well done featuring an array of details to full sized room photos for each home. I enjoyed reading how and why each home was designed or remodeled. If I were designing/ building a home more of the traditional slant, I would definitely purchase this book to use for ideas. It's truly one of the few well done books that I wish I had purchased a long time ago. I still enjoy just perusing through these beautiful and elegant homes (from the log home to the Mediterranean to the Federal style and everything in between). I look forward to more books by this amazing architect.

*by P***S on November 17, 2014*

I was surprised by this book and it is beautiful. The moldings and detail of the book and the architect, Norman Askins was wonderful. I enjoyed this and am inspired by all of the ideas and detail. If you like traditional homes, this is your book. If you are working on a remodel or a new home this is inspiring work. I love seeing beautiful homes and it motivates me in my new projects.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The current father of a long line of Atlanta-based classicists
*by J***E on November 4, 2014*

If you like classical domestic architecture, or classical revival, you're sure to be engaged by the work of Norman Davenport Askins, one of Atlanta's famous gentlemen architects practicing in traditional styles.Askins carries forward the tradition of Neel Reid, Philip Shutze, Buck Crook and James Means into the 21st century. This book is a monograph of 15 of his most exquisite designs.We must keep in mind that architecture is not simply exterior elevations and details. Interior spacial design, landscapes, details, and materials are every bit the architect's purview. So too is this book a complete presentation of those elements, both interior and exterior.The book is primarily a picture book, and makes only modest use of architectural devices such as plans, elevations, and details. Really, it's the superb full-page color photography that steals the show. Askins' restrained talents in the delicate application of classical motifs is on full display. His work is really to savor.The initial chapters in the book introduce the reader to stylistic elements that define the classical tradition as Askins applies them. Then, each of the 15 houses is presented in full color and in architecturally insightful words provided by the man himself. It all works beautifully.Askins is more playful and less orthodox than Reid and Means, but perhaps more restrained that Shutze. His designs run from strict Georgian revival to rambling French countryside. All are delivered with a sensitivity to quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship that is rare in our modern time.
