Good House Parts: Creating a Great Home Piece by Piece - Hardcover

""Good House Parts is a clear, thoughtful, accessible, and understandable introduction to the ideas and principles that make the houses celebrated in the book so livable and sensible."

Internationally renowned architect and author Dennis Wedlick believes that all it takes for a great house is the addition of good parts. From windows to built-ins, interior trim to porches, this book shows any home-owner the difference between ordinary and extraordinary - one piece at a time. A good home is the result of good house parts - a certain window, a special door, a punched dormer, a romantic overlook - that are put together based on a homeowner's personal vision. A great home is filled with details that express the personality of the owners. It is comfortable to live in because the elements are perfectly suited to a particular lifestyle. Filled with examples of details that will transform a house, this is the first book to present these parts as the building blocks for great design.
