Midwest Home

Exploring the diversity, resilience, and quiet beauty of homes across the Midwest, this photo book showcases 20 residential design projects in America's heartland. Midwest Home is a richly photographed tribute to the quiet confidence and enduring charm of Midwestern interior design. Featuring 20 homes ranging from lakeside retreats to sleek city lofts, the book captures the full spectrum of style across America’s heartland and celebrates how architecture responds to place, climate, and culture. Through thoughtful essays and striking images, author and photographer Ryan Hainey brings to light the distinct ethos of Midwestern design, which is rooted in honesty, place, and permanence. Far from being derivative of coastal trends, these homes speak their own language: one of sustainability, practicality, and beauty born of restraint. Key Features: Tells an often-overlooked story of regional design: This book brings attention to the quiet innovation and deep-rooted beauty in Midwestern residential design. Features intentional curation: The selected residences include chic urban apartments, a Craftsman-style home, a modern-day European-style villa in America’s heartland, an updated farmhouse, and lakeside retreats that offer contemporary interpretations of the Midwest’s cabin tradition—with each project reflecting a broader story about Midwestern living. Provides rare, insider access: Photographer Ryan Hainey has lived and worked in the region for over a decade, and some of the region's top designers have granted him access to spaces the public rarely sees. Showcases sustainability: The spotlighted homes display the region’s commitment to craftsmanship, local materials, and sustainable design practices, with many homes incorporating eco-friendly elements and an emphasis on longevity. With a foreword by Carl Dellatore, Midwest Home will captivate architects, designers, and lovers of regional architecture and American style as it celebrates the soulful, sustainable, and story-rich interiors from across America’s heartland.
