Shingle and Stone: Thomas Kligerman Houses

A deluxe monograph that highlights the residential work of renowned architect Thomas Kligerman, presenting a carefully chosen selection of his elegantly sumptuous houses. The book gathers insights from a career that blends English and European influences with American vernacular, from the East Coast shingle style to the Southwest puebloan tradition, in a contemporary traditional language. It offers a full-career overview featuring thirteen major highlights, including three projects currently in design, set in striking natural landscapes such as Martha’s Vineyard, the Hamptons, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest. Richly illustrated with more than 200 photographs of interiors and exteriors, plans, renderings, and sketches, the volume reveals the design process and the nuanced architectural vision behind Kligerman’s work. Written in collaboration with renowned design editor Mitchell Owens, the book emphasizes how exceptional architecture moves the needle forward and presents luxurious single-family homes that exemplify this approach. The publication is beautifully packaged with a vellum jacket over a linen case silkscreened with one of Kligerman’s hand-drawn sketches, making it a striking addition to any bookshelf, desk, or coffee table.

Elegant presentation accompanies a survey of Kligerman’s ability to integrate contemporary flair within traditional forms, showcasing a body of work that spans a diverse American landscape. The monograph situates his projects in dramatic natural settings and highlights the evolution of his architectural thinking across living environments and regional influences.
