The Making of a House: How Four Partners from Robert A.M. Stern Architects Design Residences to Last Generations

For over fifty years, Robert A.M. Stern Architects has designed extraordinary houses and residences around the world, each suffused with a rich understanding of traditional architecture and an intuitive sense of how to shape a home to the needs of modern life. Many of the firm’s important early commissions were houses, and while RAMSA has since evolved into an internationally renowned firm with an extraordinarily broad portfolio, an unflagging dedication to timeless residential design has remained a cornerstone of its practice.

Join four of the firm’s distinguished residential Partners and coauthors of the new book Houses: Robert A.M. Stern Architects—Roger Seifter, Randy Correll, Grant Marani, and Gary Brewer—in conversation with Architectural Digest Features Editor, Sam Cochran, for an in-depth look at some of their recent and most exciting projects from around the country in a variety of different architecture styles, many of which have never been seen before. Sharing gorgeous photography, renderings and plans, the partners will show how each of their designs is deeply informed by the natural and built environment, they ways they interpret the needs and aspirations of their clients, and will share practical techniques for infusing tradition with a fresh perspective as they anticipate how each home they design will grow, change, and evolve over the years.
