About this product

Product Information

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.

Friday, Oct. 13th, 2023 I ordered a DVD from the Vendor (Carolina Online Sales) very early Tuesday morning, Oct. 10th, and I received it by Thursday afternoon, Oct. 12th. The item was packaged sufficiently, and in the condition as it had been described. This Vendor provided excellent service and I would certainly utilize his services again, and should opportunity arise, recommend him. Francis P.

  • Reference Manual of Classic Design

    Very interesting! Beautiful drawings clearly explaining important design elements. Reference book of classic design elements that will never go out of style. If you are building or remodeling, this reference manual should be in your library.
