Regency House Styles

Ancient Egypt, Greek temples, Indian palaces and medieval castles are just some of the sources of inspiration which architects used when designing houses in the Regency period. This new book explains the bewildering wealth of exotic and historic forms which characterised the period and, using his own drawings and photographs, author Trevor Yorke demonstrates the work of the leading designers, the types of houses they built and the details both inside and out which are distinctive of this elegant period.
