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.
