Historical Concepts, an award-winning firm based in Atlanta and New York, is known for a distinctive ability to blend architectural traditions of the past with each client’s personal style to create houses that are at once timeless and contemporary. In the new book, Visions of Home, Historical Concepts’ president Andrew Cogar shares some of the firm’s most intriguing projects, from an 1800s Hamptons cottage playfully reinvented for a young family, to a chic coastal getaway that reinterprets a classic Charleston style, to an Idaho farmhouse that harkens back to the region’s early architectural roots. Working closely with its clients, as well as talented interior designers and landscape architects from around the country, Historical Concepts draws upon historical and personal narratives, real or aspirational, to imbue each home it designs with the authenticity of time and tradition. Join Cogar as he walks you through a curated collection of homes that feel as if they have evolved over generations, sharing the discovery and inspirations behind the firm’s signature collaborative design process.
