Here We Are, Home At Last: The Architecture of Nithurst

Join us for the launch of Here We Are, Home At Last: The Architecture of Nithurst

Beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned photographs and including insightful essays by Geoff Dyer and other leading writers, this book reveals the rich layers of narrative underpinning this remarkable building. Nithurst by Adam Richards Architects is a much-lauded, multi-award-winning house designed by the architect for his family, and situated in the picturesque South Downs National Park. The building intentionally feels both ancient and contemporary and the character of the house is informed by Renaissance drawings and by Palladio’s plan for the Villa Barbaro. With influences ranging from Vanbrugh to Tarkovsky, the design has multiple layers of reference and association, each informing the whole, enhancing its meaning, whilst creating a beautiful place to live.

Adam Richards is a British architect whose work has encompassed architecture, interior design and furniture. As well as designing private houses, his practice has earned a reputation for making highly-crafted buildings in the fields of culture, heritage and the arts, including Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft in Sussex. He has taught architecture at Cambridge University and Kingston University.

Contributions by Jeremy Musson, Geoff Dyer, Takero Shimazaki and Corinna Dean.

We are delighted to welcome Adam Richards to the AA Bookshop to celebrate the launch of this new publication.

The book will be sold at the special price of £40 (RRP £45).
