About this title

Synopsis

Too many people live in badly designed houses and we want to change that.

Too many houses have rooms that don t get used, kitchens that are hard to work in, living rooms that are difficult to furnish, and front entry spaces with no closets. There are supersized houses and those that, in spite of their actual size, feel too small and cramped.

What s Wrong With This House? is a practical guide to avoiding these problems. Based on the Slow Home design philosophy, it offers practical, down-to-earth design advice that focuses on the substance of the way a house works rather than on its superficial appearance. Using example projects from their many years of architectural practice, John Brown and Matthew North show you how to evaluate the design quality of your home and make it simple to live in and light on the environment.
