| book description |
As a trained architect, Johnston has a keen eye for the classic design principles of balance and proportion. His application of clean lines and tailored details demonstrate his timeless sensibility, but he imbues every space with something unexpected to make it feel modern. The homes he creates are both classic and cool, curated with a contemporary eye, a distinctive fusion of styles, time periods, and cultures to create interiors that defy the cliche. In an opening section of his principles, Johnston discusses Intention, Theatre, Architecture, Juxtaposition, Imperfection, Art, Scale, Texture, and Color. The book then segues into seven homes embodying modern elegance, many of which have never been seen before. The rooms reflect a unique blend of creativity, functionality, and a deep understanding of aesthetics. Johnston explores each home in detail, and provides a comprehensive look into his design philosophy, methodologies, and his most important dos and don ts when it comes to creating a home. Whether discussing the role of scale, daytime vs nighttime rooms, creating drama in hospitality spaces, or why every room needs a bit of black, Johnston will guide readers through every part of the design process, making this book a source of inspiration and learning not only to those in the design community, but to anyone looking for ideas and lessons on designing a home.
