At Home Pasadena is the first book to showcase the range and diversity of the San Gabriel Valley’s exceptional homes and gardens. With lush color photographs and evocative text, At Home Pasadena celebrates how Pasadenans live at home—where they cook, eat, sleep, work, play, socialize, garden, grow, learn, collect, retreat, dress, bathe and even save the world. The homes reflect the architectural richness of Pasadena and her design-loving neighbors, including Altadena, South Pasadena, Sierra Madre and San Marino. You’ll step inside much more than the Arts & Crafts bungalows that have brought these communities international fame—there are midcentury moderns both grand and small, kitchen gardens and rose gardens, a clean-lined loft and a rustic rental cottage, a Wallace Neff hacienda and a Madison Heights colonial, a sustainable mini-farm and an historic observatory/home . . . and many, many more. With a foreword by David R. Brown, executive director of Descanso Gardens, former president of Art Center College of Design and owner of an historic Greene & Greene home.
