Jaci Conry — At Home on the Water

Jaci Conry — At Home on the Water

Published by Gibbs Smith, this is a survey of coastal second homes designed for slower living — the kind of houses families have been building beside the water since the late 1800s, when the well-to-do first began constructing reprieves from city life. Conry brings together houses from Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, Connecticut, the Jersey Shore, Florida and California.

A useful reference for anyone working in residential interiors or coastal architecture, and a quietly absorbing volume to keep around for design ideas. Hardcover, 208 pages. Published 2022.
