迈克尔S史密斯**次收集这7年来新的室内设计作品。开创性的创作方式出现在迈克尔S史密斯的职业生涯和生活中。“策划房子”也是他最个人的书，追随着他的设计哲学的起源和影响深度，还展示大量的新项目。

在这本书中的**部分，史密斯戏剧性的画面展现了洛杉矶的房子，他的业余时间在消退和他华丽的曼哈顿公寓，史密斯探讨了他加州的根和解释他们怎样依旧更多地注入他的工作；加州深厚传统的重要性；以及他最近在西班牙的工作通过建筑，面料和历史是如何影响到他。史密斯回顾他室内设计的常量,什么是他的整体风格和为什么，如何为读者工作：从重复他们自己的分层面料和图案，运用微妙色彩的层次感形式，及对每一间舒适房子的想法。这本书的第二部分提供了案例研究史密斯最近的室内设计的作品，其中包括一个高格调的曼哈顿花衣渔村，一个通风的伦敦联排别墅，蒙大拿州的山区休闲寓所，和精致的马里布海滩房子。独立存在的和引人注目的，本书将会是史密斯的迄今为止最全面的书，和那些必须有志于他精致的、流行的风格。

Michael S. Smith’s first collection of new interiors work in seven years. Appearing at a seminal point in Michael Smith’s life and career, The Curated House is also his most personal book, tracing the origins and influences of his design philosophy in depth and presenting a substantial offering of new projects.  

In the first section of the book, illustrated with images of Smith’s own dramatic Los Angeles house, his spare desert retreat, and his ornate Manhattan apartment, Smith explores his California roots and explains how they still infuse so much of his work; the importance of California’s own deep traditions; and how his recent work in Spain has influenced him through its architecture, fabrics, and history. Smith reviews the constants of his interiors, what is integral to his style and why, and how they can work for the reader: from the forms that repeat themselves to the layering of fabrics and patterns, the use of subtle colors, and the idea of comfort in every room. The second part of the book offers case studies of Smith’s most recent interiors work, including a high-style Manhattan pied-à-terre, an airy London townhouse, a Montana mountain retreat, and a sophisticated Malibu beach house. Substantive and arresting, The Curated House will be Smith’s most comprehensive book to date, and essential to those aspiring to his refined, popular style.
