Title: Outdated 70's Look, but a Good Concept
Product review: I was disappointed once I got past the first couple of chapters. It was simply the same information repeated. No specifics really - and very few floor plans to show how the concepts are applied. The example of the couple who were disappointed with their 4000+ sq. ft., 500k suburban tract home rebuilt with the author for the same price, a 2300 square foot home. This isn't the goal of most people. The author doesn't really offer many tips other than cutting out the dining room and having the step-down "great rooms" that were popular during the 70's, along with using a bedroom/study that has a door as the away room. Almost all the rooms shown have dark wood trim and ceiling beams in all rooms with white walls. It would have been a better book if it showed the work of many architects instead of one.
