"This book is a fantastic reference guide for those designing, building, or renovating homes. If you have an existing house you’re repairing, renovating, or making an addition to, this book can guide you in your efforts to understand and make decisions re: scale, materials, and details. If you’re designing/building a new home, and you want your project to express proper scale, window/door selection, materials, details, moldings, etc, this will guide you to an overall understand of how and why your project can a express a harmonious, timeless beauty... as homes did for centuries prior to mass builder housing. Whether your project is elaborate in scope and detail, or very much a vernacular building, this is a very valuable resource. I’ve handed out numerous copies to clients and project builders over the years."
