1947réf. 100908San Francisco: Lane Publishing 1947. Early printing of this work by the mid-century master and pioneer of the California ranch house style Cliff May. Quarto bound in full green morocco by Asprey with gilt titles and tooling to the spine raised gilt bands double gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt profusely illustrated with photographs and architectural drawings. In fine condition. A superior example of this important architectural work. American architect Cliff May was named by Life Magazine as the "dean of modern ranch house architects." The present volume evaluates his 25 years of work designing and building ranch houses in all parts of the West much of the United States and abroad. In addition to numerous commercial buildings May designed over 1000 custom private residences. In a 1936 interview he noted: "The early Californians had the right idea. They built for the seclusion and comfort of their families for the enjoyment of relaxation in their homes. We want to perpetuate these ideas of home building." Throughout his work Cliff emphasized "livability rather than form and facade". Lane Publishing unknown books
