European Luxury Home Plans
European Luxury Home Plans presents a fresh portfolio of plans drawn from the ageless character of classical Old World architecture. The styles conceived here to be classic speak softly of an American heritage, inspired over time by four regions of influence-Italian, French, English and Spanish. Scale and proportion as they are iterated in ancient dialects translate evenly to the incomparable beauty found in this collection of homes.
At once rugged and refined, each of these houses displays an intimate connection with the land, forming powerful mergers between walls and what surround them. Clay-tile roofs, sun-baked stone and rough stucco are subdued by open, airy interiors and breathtaking views. Rambling, joie de vivre porches and sandals-only courtyards balance well-defined rooms and an air of formality.

The Tire House Book
What are tire houses? Who builds them? How do they do it? Will I see the tires when the house is finished? How weird are they? Can I do it myself? You'll find the answers to these questions and more in this book that Earth Quarterly called '...an excellent addition to the library of any potential tire house builder, offering a wealth of unique ideas that can jump-start you to getting up, getting out, and building that sucker!' And the Albuquerque Journal said: 'Better keep this one on the night table; you'll probably want to refer to it as you build a home or an addition to one.' Using 'landfill' tires and a revolutionary process, houses are being built that are both revolutionary and evolutionary--Michael Reynolds builds self-sufficient Earthships(TM), and Ed Paschich builds traditional homes using tires for the exterior walls. This book will tell you how you can be more responsible when you build a home, improve a home, or add a garden. You'll learn about constructed wetlands, solar air conditioning, and xeriscape landscaping. It's all here with many illustrations and photographs.

Big Book of Traditional House Plans: 500 Homes in Full Color
Unlike other house plan collections-of Victorian homes, two-story designs, or affordable plans-you're likely to find on bookstore shelves, a volume of traditional homes requires some explanation of purpose: What is a traditional home? Who is it for? What does it look like? The uncertainty stems from both the term's popularity and novelty-from its widespread and imprecise usage. |
