“It's easy to be drawn to an old building's charm and character, but the reality is, a historic residence is not typically synonymous with easy modern living. In the new book The New Old House, design reporter Marc Kristal shows us how architects are taking timeworn properties and reinventing them with bold contemporary additions….Kristal tours a curated collection of such houses around the world, all more compelling—and more livable—than they were before their transformations.”

Kristal’s book also goes far beyond the average coffee table tome, in that project descriptions are rich with insider insight and a genuine interest in the history and processes that shaped each project.…The New Old House is a very welcome insight into a strand of architecture that deserves far more than second tier status.
