If you asked Wade Weissmann of Wade Weissmann Architecture how he would describe an “heirloom house,” he would tell you it’s an abode that “lasts generations and carries traditions and memories forward even as new generations add their mark.” This concept laid the foundation for his first venture into publishing in 2018, but more recently, he and his team felt inspired to produce a second title—one that highlights the Wisconsin firm’s work in an approachable, personal, and conversational way. Published late August, “Homes of Quiet Elegance: A Collection of Recent Works by Wade Weissmann Architecture” features 11 of the company’s projects nationwide—including the “Geneva Lake Sports Barn,” which Midwest Home covered last year—along with a section dedicated to Weissmann’s architectural drawings.

Within the “coffee table”-style book’s 272 pages, Weissmann delves into his passion and process for each project, sharing a personal dialogue about the power of architecture as an art form. “Using architecture as our medium, my team and I aim to create a certain quality
that captures romance, beauty, and history, no matter where the project is,” Weissmann writes in the book’s introduction. While each featured home boasts its own unique style and feel, they are all united by the imagination of the clients who inspired them in the first place.

Discover for yourself what quiet elegance truly looks like by exploring the versatility
and timelessness of Weissmann’s work. Pick up a copy today at any major book retailer.
