STABLES High Design for Horse and Home
A richly illustrated and elegant volume showcasing beautifully designed stables by contemporary architects and designers the world over. ▬ From a ranch in the U.S. and a Finish farmstead, to a Spanish hacienda and Australian outback home, Stables is a celebration of horses and their extraordinary “lodgings.” International in scope, ranging from traditional to contemporary in flavor, twenty-five featured stables—built in wood, metal, and stone—are exemplars of the finest taste in design. Further, the book explores indoor and outdoor arenas, paddocks, and gardens, providing a humane face to the otherwise functional buildings. Social spaces for the horses, riders, and visitors also play an important role in filling out the projects, making stables not just places for sport but also of entertainment and leisure. There is a beauty in each of these projects that reflects the majesty of these animals, the distinctive landscapes in which they are set, and the creative visions of the owners, architects, and designers who have all brought them into being. The allure of housing horses is a story of architecture, design, landscape, and a unique way of living in magnificent places—and spaces—that are made exclusively for horses and for those who love them.
