The Watercolors of Skurman Architects

This portfolio contains fifty watercolor prints and an accompanying hardback book. These architectural drawings come from the San Francisco office of Skurman Architects, founded by Andrew Skurman in 1992, which is known for the elegance of its work in the different classical styles. Accompanied by a text explaining the context of the projects and photographs showing the richness of the finished buildings, the drawings have been printed as separate sheets which can be taken out and unfolded, for close study or so that they can be framed and displayed. Showing some of the most luxurious private houses in the United States and beyond, these watercolor elevations are a tribute to the clients who commissioned such beautiful dwellings, whether in the city, the suburbs or on large plots in the country. Drawing is the essence of architecture, expressing the architect's ideas in as clear a manner as possible. Skurman Architects' drawings are as clear as they are beautiful. Shape and proportion are expressed in their purest form.
