Summary |
"Stan Dixon's edited approach to the classical elements of architecture creates an understated esthetic that is historically based while embracing influences of modern design. Through contextually sensitive work of appropriate style, scale, and proportion, he crafts buildings of permanence and delight, while providing their occupants with a beautiful place in which to live their lives. Dixon takes risks in blending genres and styles, with results that are creative and original" -- Provided by publisher. |
