Produced by principal architects Stuart Cohen and Julie Hacker of Cohen & Hacker Architects, First Additions: Strategies for Adding On explores the practice of altering older structures. With almost 40 years of experience, Cohen and Hacker share their belief that recycling existing houses, retrofitting them to meet new energy standards, and preserving their cultural significance is the most sustainable way to practice architecture. First Additions presents a series of projects with before and after floor plans and photography to illustrate the transformative process of extending the fabric of an existing house. These remodeled interiors respect the character and scale of existing homes, updating the spaces in new ways by taking cues from modern design.

Home interiors reflect a narrative, and equally, so do the outdoor sanctuaries that surround them. Glorious Gardens: Private Edens of the World’s Leading Interior Designers takes readers beyond well-finished rooms and into the private gardens of celebrated interior designers. These outdoor spaces serve as inspiration for design, whether it’s Timothy Whealon’s urban oasis above Gramercy Park in New York City, Michelle Nussbaumer’s San Miguel de Allende retreat in Mexico, or Veere Grenney’s hideout in Tangier, Morocco. Each garden reflects its creator’s specific design philosophy and is presented through brilliant photography and intimate narratives penned by author Dara Caponigro, the creative director of Schumacher and editor-in-chief of FREDERIC magazine.

Decorate Like a Decorator: All You Need to Know to Design Like a Pro offers tips and tricks of the trade. Presented as an accessible guide, this book is a compilation of FREDERIC magazine’s columns through the years and is divided into 21 chapters that span the realm of interior design, from window treatments and upholstery ideas to lighting, trim, and paints. Decorate Like a Decorator features rooms finished by celebrated interior designers and images by well-known architectural photographers.

A culmination of the author’s daily photography practice, Still: The Art of Noticing features 275 photographs that explore daily moments and reflect on the art of living. Artist Mary Jo Hoffman, a former aeronautical engineer, has taken a photograph of nature each day for over a decade. This ritual gives Hoffman a deeper appreciation for place, interconnections, and life. Still presents a selection of Hoffman’s images, which are accompanied by deeply felt and oftentimes humorous essays that illuminate her insights garnered through the creative practice. With natural objects presented in artful displays, the reader comes to understand that no subject is too small, none too ordinary.
