Hardcover, 240 pages, ENG. edition, NEW !, Full color, Including an index. ISBN 9783899555127. In the book BUILDING BETTER. Sustainable Architecture for Family Homes, both architects and homeowners have their say. Families talk about their ideas, desires, motivations, and real experiences. Against this background, Building Better is both a practical and inspirational guide for anyone who sees sustainability not as limiting, but rather as a creative opportunity. As such, it is an essential reference for everyone who wants to build a better home. For anyone who is in the process of building or renovating a home, sustainability is a critical issue?- especially since energy is likely to remain costly for the foreseeable future. Choosing to use resources responsibly makes as much of a statement about a home as the selection of floor plans, building materials, or furniture. Ideally, our homes should be sustainable and look good at the same time. BUILDING BETTER. Sustainable Architecture for Family Homes showcases single-family homes from around the world whose architecture proves that sustainable and attractive are not contradictions. The book?s selection of outstanding, top-quality work provides feasible examples for a new generation of homeowners with a discerning sense of style and environmental responsibility. 1750 g.
