This book written by garden designer John Brookes and interior specialist Eluned Price, brings house and garden together in one treatment and describes in detail how to design your house and garden so that they match each other in terms of style. Each case study has been specially chosen to illustrate a particular style, be it classical, modern, town, cottage or country. Properties range from a city loft and neo-classical villa to a country retreat and minimalist conversion, but always house and garden have been conceived as one design. There is also a look at the development of integrated style over the centuries and a practical section which looks at the elements that help to create a unified look, from walls and windows, flooring and furnishings,to terraces, pergolas, conservatories and sunrooms. -- amazon.com
