Summary: The subtitle misleads
Comment: This book is a good read, but it is not a "guide to designing the house of your dreams."
The first half gives a good description of what an architect thinks it will be like for you to work with an architect, and is worth the read so you know what you're in for. (Note that this book and Jim Locke's The Well-Built House - from a builder's perspective disagree on some of these points)
The second half is about how he designed a house with his wife as the client. It really is a "guide to how WE designed the house of OUR dreams".
If you're contemplating a house design, go ahead and enjoy the writing, but you won't need it to help you through the process.
