“From hilltop homes to seaside retreats, nature and design artfully
intersect in these elegant, unpretentious spaces. The simplicity
and charm of natural materials such as stone and brick provide a
sense of warmth and luxury that you’ll want in your own home.” ~At
Home Magazine
“…the sheer size and weight of the book reflects the enormity of
his accomplishments and influence. But it’s a beauty filled with
images of 38 properties, from wineries to seaside retreats, with
images so large, you could believe you’ve stepped into the house.”
~Napa Valley Register
“..[one of] this fall’s highly anticipated design titles from AD100
talent, filled with remarkable spaces and expert advice. Editor and
author Daniel P. Gregory surveys the work of California firm
Backen, Gillam & Kroeger whose signature rustic aesthetic
emphasizes natural materials.” ~Architectural Digest
“This volume…isn’t overrun with text or filled with the filler of
meaningless black and white snaps, as so many of these books are.
Instead clients are mentioned, plans are explained, materials and
layouts are discussed. And the placement of each photo is as
deliberate as the projects that are highlighted within. Backen
understands that powerful architecture is a successful
manifestation of the dialogue between structure and surrounding.
His work is brave and moving because it demands that we not only
look at it, but beyond it.” ~Nintchka.com
“From the Land is an artful exploration of the architecture firm’s
aesthetic. Throughout the work, a sense of intimacy, warmth, and
informality pervades.” ~Editor at Large
“From the Land, a new shelter book by Daniel P. Gregory from
Rizzoli, showcases the stunning portfolio of Napa-based architects
Backen, Gillam & Kroeger.” ~Gentry Magazine
