Great Houses on a Budget

This book was very informative and has great photographic examples. I look forward to applying them to the next house that I build. The simplicity of the building materials breaks the boundaries of the common myths of building designs. I would live in any of these houses and find bliss. Highly recommended for anyone interested in living wisely, environmentally friendly, and whether on a budget for building or not, one who could appreciate space and design that is well appointed. I would also not hesitate to buy another copy to give as a gift to someone thinking of building their own home.

Look, this book is a picture book... but so are all James Grayson Trulove books. If you are not familiar with his books then you are missing out. His books are not case studies with pages of boring text. He does not teach in his books, but rather inspire. You know when you have a favorite actor and no matter what they are in you go see it... that is the type of author that Trulove is. He is constantly producing new books with great houses that can give you great new ideas. If you're expecting alot more than great pictures of great houses then get something else. But if you want to peak behind the doors of some really cool new houses then you will love this book.

I liked this book alot and refer to it often for innovative modern design in designing my own home.
