Congratulations to Scott Shrader on the publication of his book, The Art of Outdoor Living, which features two AW+SS project collaborations: a contemporary California surfshack on Rincon Point and a restaurant developer’s table-to-farm estate in Somis, CA.

Excerpt:

“By their very nature, gardens take us out of our everyday worlds. They are our private oases, the safe, beautiful places we create for ourselves to retreat, relax, and recharge. When they are designed, arranged, and lit for atmosphere and ambience so that we can use them to share a wonderful meal, a quiet afternoon, or a fabulous celebration with family and friends, there is nothing better.”
