A Classical Journey: The Houses of Ken Tate

By using authentic materials including custom-quarried stone, antique wooden beams, and natural plaster, and employing traditional craftsmanship ranging from mortis-and-tendon carpentry to English milled paneling, Ken Tate creates houses that seem to have been lived in and loved for generations. With an introduction by Southern architecture expert Susan Sully, excerpts from the work of Tate's favourite writers including Octavio Paz and Jorge Borges, evocative essays and interviews with the architect, this book is an illuminating expression of Tate's Classical Journey.
