The Home Design Handbook: The Essential Planning Guide for Building, Buying, or Remodeling a Home - Softcover

Julie Cotner is an author and marketing director for a Northwest architectural firm. Steve Myrvang, A.I.A., owns an award-winning architectural firm in Silverdale, Washington.

The Myrvangs, owners of a Seattle architecture firm, have created a book that will help novices navigate the area of home design. Design is important to anyone building, buying, or renovating a house since a home is typically one's largest investment, and once it is built one must live in it. Readers are given a series of questions which are designed to help sort through the tremendous amount of detail involved. Checklists of items that typically need consideration in every home, both interior and exterior, are covered. This is not an essential purchase, but is recommended for public libraries with active building and renovation collections.
