Selecting a building site. Making analytical decisions about individual areas and rooms (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, home office, laundry) as well as important, yet often underplanned, housing components (foundation; entryways; hallways; stairways; doors; storage areas; and electrical, mechanical, environmental, water, and sewer systems). Dozens of drawings plus black-and-white photographs complement the clearly written text. May 2006, 200 pp., 8 1/2 x 11, illus., softcover,
