Design in Mind: Bunny Williams - Not a House but a Home

Watch the ICAA's documentary on the legendary designer

The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) is proud to present Bunny Williams - Not a House but a Home. In this film the legendary designer, permanently named to Architectural Digest’s AD100 Hall of Fame, takes viewers inside her Manhattan apartment, Connecticut home and gardens, and various projects, offering insights into her process and her inspirations and sharing the practical lessons and advice that inform her projects. Along the way she recounts the story of her career, accompanied by exclusive photographs and newly filmed scenes of beautiful homes and gardens ranging from grand estates to modest clapboard houses.

Bunny Williams - Not a House but a Home is the first documentary devoted to sharing the story of one of the most illustrious contemporary names in design. In her own words, Bunny shares her philosophies regarding design projects, working with clients, creating memorable gardens, working with challenging spaces, and especially on how to create a warm and welcoming home, full of the owner’s personality. Her approach, which has been refined by over 20 years at the iconic firm Parish-Hadley Associates and over 30 years at her eponymous firm, contains words of wisdom for anyone with a passion for architecture, interiors, landscapes, and artistry.

Design in Mind is an original documentary series by the ICAA that profiles the careers of architects, artists, and designers. Bunny Williams - Not a House but a Home is the third installment in the series, following Robert A.M. Stern: Always a Student (2018) and On Location with James Ivory (2019).

This film was made possible by the estate of Christopher H. Browne and the Orville Gordon Browne Foundation
