Saarinen House and Garden : A Total Work of Art

Saarinen House, the home of Finnish-American architect and designer Eliel Saarinen and textile designer Loja Saarinen at Cranbrook Academy of Art, the graduate school in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, is an important 1920s American house and the site of a dramatic garden.

This book documents the history and diverse design elements of the house and garden, which have been recently restored.

The house is Saarinen's expression of his belief that life and art are inextricably bound within a framework that encompasses all realms of design.

The photographs document the results of the restoration of the residence: the original layout and colour schemes, Loja's textiles, long-lost furnishings, and the garden.
