PowerHouse: Interior Designs for Self, Style, and Sanctuary invites readers into a collection of distinctive homes across the United States, each an expression of its owner’s spirit and style. Known for her “couture” approach to interiors, Baird combines her expertise in design with her background in psychology to create homes that are equal parts refuge, celebration, and sanctuary.

This stunning volume showcases sumptuous contemporary and traditional homes, from apartments in New York City and Hamptons beach retreats and mountain getaways, West Coast deserts, and more. In each project, Baird’s design process brings together a unique trifecta: the location, the look and feel, and the individual personality of the client. By blending these three elements, Baird tailors every home to the specific needs and desires of its owner, resulting in a space that enhances their sense of well-being, beauty, and personal expression.

Key Features:

• Personal sanctuaries: Each project showcases Baird’s talent for translating individual client needs into uniquely expressive spaces.
• Sumptuous full-bleed images: Lavish photography immerses readers in the elegance of each design, capturing the beauty and atmosphere of the homes in stunning detail.
• Design and the psychological underpinning of home: Baird’s background in psychology informs her understanding of how atmosphere affects well-being, and she discusses her in-depth thought processes surrounding each project.
• Trend-free style: Timeless materials and thoughtful details ensure these designs transcend fleeting trends.
• Behind-the-scenes insights: Baird shares her experience of sourcing furnishings from diverse markets, antique dealers, galleries, and auctions.
• Distinctive locations: Projects span New York City; the Hamptons; La Quinta, CA; Montecito, CA; Vail, CO; Williamstown, MA; Cresskill, NJ; and Atherton, CA.
