Title: The Smart House by James Grayson Trulove ISBN: 0060557427 Publisher: Harper Design International Pub. Date: 01 April, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $39.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.5
Rating: 2
Summary: Poor Execution
Comment: When I bought this book I was looking for a source of "options" that I could apply to the design of my own Smart House. This is more of a coffee table book, not a useful reference. For some unknown reason the editor chose to print the text as white print on a black background, which I find almost as annoying as reading text that is entirely bold-face. On top of that the author chose to showcase several houses that are starkly contemporary and amazingly ugly in my opinion. In sum: this book has nothing much to offer the prospective home builder.
Rating: 3
Summary: pretty pictures, low executable value
Comment: I am in the process, prolonged process, of building a house and wanted some pointers, some good ideas. I got them in pictures but not in details. For instance one of my favorite houses, Sund Olsen's Courtyard House is here in page after page of photos. Great but not one detail about what the specs are on all that glazing, what the R value is of the roof. The books also really slants to West Coast environments and doesn't bring a lot of relevance to the South (not that the South necessarily has a lot of relevance).
