    CASA SANTA FE: DESIGN, STYLE, ARTS AND TRADITION - SIGNED BY MELBA LEVICK AND RUBEN G. MENDOZA

    (LEVICK, MELBA). Mendoza, Ruben G. Photographs by Melba Levick. New York: Rizzoli International Publications, 2023. First Edition. 9 x 10". Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Architectural Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 978-0-8478-9914-2


    288pp, profusely illustrated in color. "Desert hues, natural materials, thick hand-plastered walls, and adobe brick construction are hallmarks of the Santa Fe Style, which is as much an expression in architecture, interior design, art, and crafts as it is a way of life. Rooted in a sense of earthy comfort inspired by its history, the surrounding desert, and Native American and Hispanic design influences, the style has a timeless appeal and vibrant ongoing life that has resulted in these extraordinary homes.

    With features such as eighteenth-century peeled vigas, tin chandeliers, romantic iron sconces, and hand-hewn wood-beamed ceilings, each house is a rich yet harmonious invitation that will engage the senses and speak to the soul. Beyond the houses, the writer and photographer spotlight those details and spaces that together convey the magic of this very special place, including patios and gardens; fireplaces, kivas, and hornos; ceramics; Native American arts; cabinets and trasteros; folk art; and weaving.

    Casa Santa Fe is the definitive sourcebook for architects, designers, builders, homeowners, and interior decorators seeking to expand their visual repertoire of historically defined and classically inspired architectural details and interior appointments." A brand new, most handsome example of this exquisite new reference additionally SIGNED by both Melba Levick and Rubén G. Mendoza.
     
    Melba Levick is an internationally renowned photograper based in Los Angeles and Paris, with more than sixty books to her name. Her most recent publications from Rizzoli include The Spanish Style House, The California Missions, The Ranches: Home on the Range in California, The California Casa, and Classic Homes of Los Angeles.
