Featured Project
The Art of Home

Within its pages, readers will discover coastal retreats, mountain estates, and modern urban homes—each brought to life through breathtaking photography and insightful editorial storytelling. More than a showcase of beautiful spaces, the book honors the architects, builders, interior designers, and landscape architects whose vision shapes the way we live. It is a tribute to the craftsmanship, collaboration, and creativity that define the Carolinas’ distinctive sophistication.

A Message From Our Founder
Design has been a thread running through my life for as long as I can remember. Even as a student drafting early floor plans, I was mesmerized by the way a single idea could evolve into a place where people gather, grow, and live out their stories. That early fascination grew into a deep respect for the architects, builders, interior designers, and landscape architects who shape our everyday environments.
When I launched Panache Partners in 2002, my goal was to give exceptional creative professionals the kind of platform their work deserved. Over the years, we published more than a hundred books that celebrated design with care, substance, and artistry. That experience—and the extraordinary people behind it—fuel the foundation of Aureum Books.
Aureum is the next chapter: a publishing house built with intention, a dedication to quality, and a renewed passion for telling stories that matter. Every book we create is a collaboration, a celebration, and a testament to the idea that design is both cultural and personal.
I am grateful for every contributor who entrusts us with their work, and I remain committed to producing volumes that honor their craft with the highest editorial and production standards. Thank you for being part of this journey.
OUR STORY
A Legacy of Craftsmanship in Print
From Our Archives
Aureum’s story began long before our first book. In 2002, our founder launched Panache Partners, a boutique publisher known for beautifully crafted design volumes. Today, we preserve that history by showcasing standout titles that paved the way for Aureum’s gold standard.
A Foundation of Passion & Purpose
Aureum Books continues that legacy with a renewed clarity of vision. Guided by a deep appreciation for architecture, interior design, and the stories behind them, our founder set out to build a modern publishing house rooted in excellence. Here, every book is more than a showcase—it is a testament to collaboration, artistry, and the transformation of a space into a narrative. Aureum’s commitment is to honor the creative minds shaping our world and to produce volumes that reflect their mastery with precision, warmth, and uncompromising quality.
