Custom luxury in distinctive personal spaces.

Forewords by Frank O. Gehry and Paul Goldberger.

This first book on the interior designs of San Francisco-based Paul Vincent Wiseman and The Wiseman Group showcases distinctive homes where clients find themselves at peace in a profound way. The hallmarks of Wiseman interiors are superb details executed in custom furniture and furnishings.

The homes range from a Victorian update on San Francisco's Russian Hill to an Art Deco apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side; from a sleek urban high-rise in Chicago to a tropical sanctuary in Ka'upulehu, Hawaii. Each project is unique and each is distinct.

Brian D. Colema n is the author of Fortuny, Barry Dixon Interiors, Farrow & Ball: The Art of Color, and Scalamandre, among other home design books. He writes for Old House Interiors and other magazines. He divides his time between New York and Seattle.
