Places with Presence
Architect Norman Davenport Askins makes the case for the dedicated dining room and shares the principles — proportion, lighting, acoustics, and bold details — that make it a place to gather.
As both an architect and an avid gardener, I have long been captivated by the poetry of the garden gate.

From the Editor
There is something about Christmas that makes me want to pull out the china. I am a self-admitted china enthusiast, and when the holidays are in full swing, I always bring out Lenox Holiday, the pattern I registered for 42 years ago. Loved, used, and enjoyed through countless Christmases, it still feels as special as the day I chose it. There is something wonderful about the pieces that become part of your family’s story, year after year.
