On this Episode of Building Tradition, host Peter H Miller, Hon AIA interviews Bunny Williams

Bunny Williams' next book, LIFE in the GARDEN, out March 2024 and published by Rizzoli, is a photographic feast. "I wrote the book myself, largely because our photographer, Annie Schlechter, had taken so may gorgeous photos of our garden."

Bunny talks about her new book, her garden and her interior design philosophy, developed over a 50-year career. She also introduces her new partner, Elizabeth Lawrence, in the firm now called Williams Lawrence. Ms. Lawrence started as an intern with Bunny Williams Interiors.

"Classicism is not just about Greek Revival architecture, Williams exclaims, it's about doing your homework, understanding historical precedent, symmetry and proportion." Bunny William's interior design brings the outdoors in and the indoors out. It employs juxtaposition for texture and statement . It's personal and comfortable, created for clients who live in their house or apartments for a long time.

Listen in with Bunny Williams who gives emerging professionals good advice about career advancement and is particularly enthused when discussing her volunteer work with Project Sage, a women services support organization.
