THOMAS TOMCZYK „SORRENTI: A DESIGNER’S LIFE"

THOMAS TOMCZYK „SORRENTI: A DESIGNER’S LIFE”, Paya mag. 2022 About the book An elegant coffee table book exploring the life & work of architectural designer Hal Sorrenti, from Canada to Central America & the Caribbean. A self-taught prodigy in architectural design, Hal Sorrenti possessed a bright spirit and a distinctive creative ingénue. Many of the buildings he created — with their vivid colors, signature design elements, and masterful integration with the surrounding landscape — are immediately recognizable as his artistry. In particular, his work on Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras became synonymous with the unique aesthetic and island lifestyle which Sorrenti perfected in his years residing there. In this elegant publication, over 50 of Sorrenti’s designs are shown through color photos and a selection of his own drawings and floor plans. The book includes quotes and writings from the designer, as well as the telling of Sorrenti’s life and work by author Thomas Tomczyk. “Sorrenti: A Designer’s Life” is certain to be cherished by those who knew Hal Sorrenti personally, and to serve as inspiration to all who appreciate the art of architectural design.
