Thomas Proctor: Classical Houses book launch

Join us to celebrate the launch of Thomas Proctor’s new book, Classical Houses published by Rizzoli at Compass on 14^th street NW.

Admired for his knowledge of classical architecture, Proctor has long been respected for his devotion to creating houses that seeks inspiration from the past, that are not only rooted in the larger classical tradition, but the architectural traditions of California. THOMAS PROCTOR: CLASSICAL HOUSES presents seven of Proctor’s projects alongside his design philosophy, coupled with architectural vignettes that illustrate Proctor’s deep understanding of classicism. His approach to creating a modern, livable home built to bridge the gap between past, present, and future takes the best of traditional architecture—from the detailed craftsmanship to the elegant, balanced proportions—and translates it for the kind of connected, welcoming spaces that suit modern family life.

Thomas will briefly speak about his work and the book followed by a book signing. Refreshment will be provided and books available for purchase.   

Many thanks to Compass for hosting the event!
