It is a bit disingenuous to classify Wadia Associates as a Classical architectural firm. They are not nor do they pretend to be so despite finding their way into the New Classicists series. That is evident from the cover of the book with its lovely photograph of a neo-Queen Anne Revival house. Wadia Associates is broadly eclectic in their usage of traditional architectural styles. Their authenticity is better than average with excellent detailing taken from historic sources. However, all this lovely traditional architectural detail is draped around contemporary residential floor plans with typical living/dining/family areas bleeding into each other.
This is an excellent and forthright book displaying the best of their output.

There are many references of excellent taste and skills by Wadia Associates's architects

There are many references of excellent taste and skills by Wadia Associates's architects. Love it!
The only issue is that the book is quite old, published in the distant 2007. So, I'd prefer to have a newest version of it.
However, the price, to my opinion is too heigh for this type of books.
