This portfolio contains fifty watercolor prints and an accompanying hardcover book. These architectural designs come from the office of Skurman Architects in San Francisco, founded in 1992 by Andrew Skurman and known for the elegance of its work in various classical styles. Combined with a text explaining the context of the works and photographs showing the richness of the completed buildings, the designs have been printed on separate sheets that can be removed and unfolded for detailed study or to be framed and displayed. Showcasing some of the most luxurious private residences in the United States and beyond, these watercolors are a tribute to the clients who commissioned such beautiful homes, whether in the city, suburbs, or large estates in the countryside. Design is the essence of architecture, expressing the architect's ideas as clearly as possible. The designs of Skurman Architects are both clear and beautiful. Shape and proportion are expressed in their purest form.
