Architect Jeffrey Dungan THE NATURE OF HOME: Creating Timeless Houses





"They say you only get one chance at a first impression.  The same goes for anything we design and build, especially something as epic and enduring as a house.  It is critical that the architecture is deserving of its environment.  A home at peace with its surroundings will always be superior to one that is not.  The best compliment I can ever receive is that a house we designed looked as if it had grown out of the site or had always been there."


-Architect Jeffrey Dungan




My first impressions of acclaimed southern architect Jeffrey Dungan's new book 
The Nature of Home: Creating Timeless Houses 
was authentic ... timeless ... layered ... well designed ... artisan.  

His homes have a "forever" quality.  The exteriors have a strength about them, perfectly situated with rich, luminous interiors, proper proportions, and style with an unparalleled attention to detail. 

A lovely book that is a wonderful addition to your library and a beautiful welcome to fall.

"The design of every house is a journey for the imagination; I try to capture something unique about the people who will spend their lives there, drawing a house as it wants to be, knitting the site and owner together in a setting where they can both live happily." - Jeffrey Dungan
