Architect Charles R. Stinson conceives each project as a balance of space and light, where horizontal and natural light bring the outside in. The result is a living space that is both transcendent and grounding; a place that lifts the spirit and connects those who live there. Whether he is envisioning a family home or creating an entire community, Stinson views the compositional process as the art of `putting families and friendships` together. Architect and client collaborate to define an architectural vision that seamlessly joins beauty with function and interior with exterior. The book explores Charles Stinson`s most significant work, offering readers an opportunity to see the spaces that live and breathe light in his homes, commercial projects and neighbourhoods. Renowned photographer Peter Bastianelli-Kerze captures these compositions in full colour and scope. Stinson`s own sketches add an intimate layer to this stunning collection of works.
