The House Handbook-pdf
Amazon 5 star review: "The House Handbook is an architectural student must have. Great book for remodels, gen(eral) design and layout, space planning, etc."
The House Handbook: Guidelines for Building or Remodeling Your Home encourages the concept of universal design in the building process.
The book was designed with icons that point you to the concepts or practices of “Affordable”, “Attractive”, “Convenient”, “Efficient”, and “Healthy”. These concepts ease in the development of an integrated house and landscape plan that fits a variety of life stages, lifestyles, income, and locations.
