Greene and Greene Architecture As a Fine Art

by Randell L. Makinson, Marvin Rand (Illustrator)

n this fascinating new look at the work of Charles and Henry Greene, masters of the bungalow design, renowned authors Randell L. Makinson and Thomas A. Heinz assert that not only were the brothers Greene geniuses of their time, but that they also developed a distinct architectural and design style that has been the model for generations of architects since, and continues to reign today. Examining the individual plans, materials, and interiors of some of the most distinguished work of the Greenes, and illustrated with stunning photography, the authors revisit designs that exemplify a highly refined set of proportional relationships and a level of detail and craftsmanship that remains unsurpassed today.

I could look at Greene and Greene all day, and this book has given me that fix.
Beautiful images, and interesting information on the materials, techniques, and style of Greene and Greene!

Quick and thorough read

Despite its brevity, I still get a good grasp of the Greene's style from this book. Excellent and worth the read!

A great book sadly mutilated by Kindle
