"At the heart of California Romantica is the vision -- and admitted obsession -- of a committed preservationist who as a girl fell in love with the colonial-era and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of Southern California. In her introduction to the book, Diane Keaton puts it quite succinctly: 'I knew I wanted to share the magic I'd felt within the aura created by the presence of Spanish architecture in Southern California...I wanted to capture the romance of an empty room. I wanted to focus on details, a fountain, a staircase, a doorway. I wanted to highlight the genre's disjointed symmetry, and informal, abstract appeal. I wanted the drama of light to reveal secrets that lay hidden beyond the facades. I wanted 'old' and 'Spanish' to stop being code words for demolition. I wanted us to give renewed vitality, and even a refined Modernism, to the historic dream of living in a perfect California Spanish home.' California Romantica is an expression of wonder and an ode to an extraordinary tradition in architecture marked by white-washed stucco and plaster walls, wrought iron, arches, towers, balconies, patios, terraces, window grills, tile work, stout doors; houses enveloped by and frequently cast in profound shadow and light; houses that are at once meditations on the past and also abiding evocations of a way of life that is so much of the present." -- Publisher.

Overview

Williams, among others.

Among the magnificent seaside estates, canyon villas, and courtyard bungalows shown is Diane Keaton’s former home in Beverly Hills, which she thoughtfully restored with noted designer Stephen Shadley, and for which she has been ...
