There's a movement in residential architecture toward re-establishing the Romantic. In the Romantic, first conceived by the Edwardians, architects borrow on motifs from history to design or embellish their new houses, with the beautiful buildings of English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens becoming a prominent design guidepost. Lutyens was a habitual borrower himself, using medieval, Elizabethan, Georgian and classical decoration in his arts and crafts styling. Here are two of the best practicing today.
