Is This Book for You?
Are you planning to build a house? Would you like to have your new house end up being the best house you could build - your dream house - designed just for you? Most of us have spent our lives living in houses that are generic, designed for everyone and no one in particular. Is it possible to do better? Does it have to be more expensive to design and build a house that is tailored to you and the way you live?
Designing Your Perfect House: Lessons from an Architect is a book for people who want their house to be more. You'll find answers to these questions and many other questions my clients have asked me over the many years I have designed homes of all sizes and descriptions.
- How do I turn my dreams and ideas into the house I desire?
- What do I need to know about home design and home building?
- How do I evaluate building sites?
- How do I select and work with an architect?
- How do I organize my thinking about my house and what it can be?
- How do I make my house feel like my home?
- What do I have to watch out for?
- How do I keep control of everything and avoid problems?
