"Guyon shares his vision of a 'balanced' architecture that blends the best of the old Southern folk houses with the promise and excitement of international modern design. Working in the American South, Guyon has brought together the folk houses of its rural landscape and combined it with the complexity and sophistication of modern architecture. Each of the 11 houses profiled is a treasure trove of references to old moments and modern visions. The soul of these buildings rises up from the southern landscape and moves forward to meet today's demands for clean, efficient architecture. Each project invites an exploration of the handmade richness of an old barn intertwined within the steel and glass of a modern building." - Publisher.
