ABOUT THE BOOK
Jeffrey Dungan: The Nature of Home
Following in the tradition of populist architects Gil Schafer and Bobby McAlpine, Dungan designs new traditional houses for today—houses with clean lines, made with stone and wood, that carry an air of lasting beauty and that are made to be handed on to future generations. In his first book, Dungan shares his advice and insight for creating these “forever” houses and explores eight houses in full, from a beach house on the Gulf Coast to a farmhouse in the Southern countryside to a family home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. All speak of authenticity, timelessness, and lived history that reveals itself through the rich patinas and natural textures that come with age. Layered in between are thematic essays and imagery celebrating the importance of elements such as light, stone, and rooflines in creating a home.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR/DESIGNER
Jeffrey discovered a love for drawing and art at a young age while growing up on his family farm in rural Alabama. Being immersed in the powerful natural countryside would become inspiration for a life designing beautiful architecture and interiors. Dungan’s creative work can be seen in his native south, and throughout north and central America. Recognized for his clean and modern approach to traditional vernaculars and classical architecture, he has been honored with numerous awards from the American Institute of Architects as well as the Southeast Architect of the Year award by ADAC and a coveted Palladio.
Jeffrey’s work has been featured in numerous books, as well as THE WALL STREET JOUNRAL, VERANDA, LUXE, Garden and Gun, MILIEU, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles and House Beautiful. His book, “The Nature of Home”, was published by Rizzoli International of New York, in September of 2018.
