Get Your House Right
Architectural Elements to Use & Avoid
Sick of McMansions? Marianne Cusato, creator of the award-winning Katrina Cottages, is a champion of traditional architectural principles: structural common sense, aesthetics of form, appropriateness to a neighborhood, and sustainability. She presents the definitive guide to what makes houses look and feel right, revealing the dos and don'ts of livable home design. Hundreds of elegant line drawings--rendering the varieties of architectural features and displaying avoid and use versions of the same elements side by side--make this an indispensable resource for designing and building a timelessly beautiful home.
