Design of a Country Estate

Driven by a passion for art and architectural design, Cathy Purple Cherry shares the story of a fabulous, newly built, coastal country estate. “This elegant architecture book is not only a delightful visual treat, but it’s also filled with descriptions about how the featured Centreville, MD, country coastal estate developed and why the design choices were made. This all adds up to an enhanced reading experience and tour….a diverting read.”—Library Journal. The vision was for traditional, classic, romantic, authentic timelessness, and approachable elegance. The end result speaks to all of this and more. Architect Purple Cherry tells the story of this luxurious country estate (4 full kitchens, 13 en suite bedrooms) in the Mid-Atlantic—along the Chester River on the Eastern Shore in Centreville, Maryland—and how the vision came to life.
