From its earliest days Metropolitan Home magazine grew into the standard bearer for contemporary home design in the US and became an active participant in reshaping the way Americans live. Always on the forefront of new trends, yet never elevating fashion over substantive style, Met Home championed creative re-use of old buildings, the opening up of homes to light, the reinvention of mid-century modernism, the green revolution in architecture, and the new "big mix" in interior decoration. Many of the designers and architects featured in its pages went on to become household names and leaders of the design profession. A favorite annual issue known as the Design 100 honored superlative invention and creativity in international design. Metropolitan Home Design 100 focuses on the best homes and the best rooms ever to have appeared in Met Home - as well as scores of new locations and never-before-published photographs. Each of the 100 houses, apartments, lofts, rooms, or design details included in the book is the greatest of something, and each has been created by one of the top designers or architects of our time. The 100 taken as a whole have been curated in the spirit of Met Home: lively, beautiful, accessible, aspirational, real. Metropolitan Home ceased publication with its December 2009 issue, but the spirit, the vision, and the legacy of the magazine lives on, in this book, in the hearts of thousands of loyal followers and in the way we live now. Metropolitan Home Design 100 is a celebration, a valediction, and a gift to anyone who loves modern design....

For well over twenty-five years, "Metropolitan Home magazine has celebrated--and reported on its pages--creative homeowners, artists, decorators, architects, knowing that sensitive home design takes more than just a good eye. It also requires a good inner ear, tuned to the landscape and to the true voice of the house. Listening to the urban beat, for example, designer Carl D'Aquino ran movie theater carpet, dancing with pattern, up a five-story stair in a New York townhouse. In Texas, architects Ted Flato and David Lake crafted a house from a vast metal toolshed, a typical outbuilding in those parts. And in Philadelphia, Glen Senk and Keith Johnson decorated largely with restraint, keeping their historic house unrenovated and pristine--though they weren't above aging an army green wall with a coat of black shoe polish. The thirty-nine houses presented here are packed with design lessons. Each is a mix of inspiration and evocation, imagination and expertise. And each is highly adaptable for houses and apartments in other parts of the country. To lay these design lessons bare, American Style features dozens of Metropolitan Home magazine's trademark "What the Pros Know" boxes, which spell out the small but vital arts of the design trade: how to paint "ruined" walls, apply silver leaf to a cabinet, specify a heat-efficient fireplace, or adapt a Miami home's tropical-fruit palette to Northern cities with less brazen light. American Style aims at a balance: a home that expresses both the character of its occupant as well as its own unique niche on this earth . . . a home that achieves pride of place. "Metropolitan Home, since its inception as Apartment Life, has become therecognized authority on home design and how we live today. Notable both for its friend-to-friend voice and real-life ideas, it has chronicled our life in city, town, and country for well over twenty-five years....
