Beautiful shingle-style, Gothic revival and Cape Cod-style homes in gorgeous New England settings by award-winning architect-builders Polhemus Savery DaSilva. Separate sections focus on specific rooms and features, with detailed photos and descriptions. Over 35 stunning projects featured. Polhemus Savery DaSilva design and build homes that are dream homes in the true sense of the term-personally suited to, expressive of and inspirational to the clients who occupy them. Heavily influenced by the Shingle Style, the great American invention of casual, eclectic wooden homes wrapped in shingles, Polhemus Savery DaSilva create houses that are fresh and of their time, yet evoke the familiar and the timeless. They are a part of, rather than a break from, the continuum of architectural history. This perfect blend of restraint and exuberance, elegance and whimsy, saw the firm awarded the 2010 National Association of Home Builders' National Custom Home Builder of the Year Award. Featured within 'Shingled Houses in the Summer Sun' are more than 35 unique houses infused with the kind of care and creativity that respects and complements their beautiful New England surroundings.
