Series: The World's Most
The definitive guide to Townhouse style from the world's leading interior designers. An inspirational journey told through interviews and 250 stunning images.

The townhouse has become an ideal of city living – a word which holds a cachet far beyond its literal description. It evokes elegance, proportion, and the sense of a private world in the heart of the metropolis. More than any particular interior or architectural style, the townhouse represents a way of life.

Townhouse takes readers inside some of the most beautiful and stylish townhouses in the world – a photographic journey told through interviews with the leading interior designers of our era. Enter a historic Amsterdam canal house restored by Soho House designer Vicky Charles, an immersive Parisian residence renovated by Claridge's designer Bryan O'Sullivan, and a historic Philadelphian masterpiece by Haldon House. A large, fabric-bound edition with over 250 colour photographs of interiors by designers including Nicola Harding, Maddux, Banda, and Albion Nord, and with stunning homes from Victorian London and the Roman city of Bath to Modernist Los Angeles and contemporary New York, Townhouse is this generation's definitive survey of period and contemporary city style.

AUTHOR: Peter Martin is a renowned design journalist and author, and is the founder of Cultural Union, the international design, art and architecture magazine and publisher. A regular media partner of art and design fairs in the United States and Europe, he worked for many years as editorial director of a global vintage and contemporary art and design marketplace.
