Peter Marino: Ten Modern Houses

An exclusive look inside world-renowned architect Peter Marino's private, residential projects

In this stunning new collection, internationally acclaimed architect Peter Marino shares a look inside his private, residential projects. In contrast to the architecture and design for his luxury commercial clients - including Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co. - the residences featured are ones where Marino was allowed almost unlimited creative freedom in both the architectural planning and interior design.

Through ten chapters (nine completed residences and a tenth chapter of in-progress houses) with more than 200 images, this book provides a behind-the-scenes look into Marino's remarkable range of work across the globe with residences in: Southampton and Sagaponack, New York; Aspen, Colorado; Miami, Florida; Summerlin, Nevada; Malibu, California; Faqra, Lebanon; the Dominican Republic; Ramatuelle and St. Barts, France; Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos; and Skorpios, Greece. This is the first book on Peter Marino's residential architecture, and readers can gain insight into his practice and approach to residential design through a preface by Marino himself, an introduction by Pilar Viladas, and profiles of each residence by Sam Lubell.

Peter Marino is the principal of Peter Marino Architect PLLC, the New York-based architecture firm he founded in 1978.
