Recognition and Publication
ecognized internationally for its excellence in architectural design, the Liljestrand House has been featured in over fifty-five publications worldwide.
In a 1958 “Pace Setter Edition” House Beautiful magazine devoted its cover and fifty-three pages to the house. This coverage elevated and highlighted the house as an example of outstanding design. As a result, there are multiple copies of the home across the United States and the world including Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Norway and Australia.
From 2007 through 2009 the House was featured as one of Vladimir Ossipoff’s masterpieces in an exhibition that traveled from the Honolulu Academy of Arts to the Yale School of Architecture Gallery and the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, Germany. Recent notable publications include an article in Departures Home and Design, cover of Lightning, a fashion magazine in Japan, and an article and photography in Monocle and Monocle Travel Guide, a British based magazine. In 2017, Gear Patrol, a lifestyle magazine for men, covered the Liljestrand House and announced the expanded work of the Liljestrand Foundation.
The Liljestrand House has been featured in over fifty-five publications worldwide.
