1.0 out of 5 stars
Misleading Title,
By blankpage (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Difficult Sites: House Plans for Zero-Lot-Line, Hillside, Long & Narrow and Wide & Shallow Lots : 90 Home Plans and Elevations Plus Building News Co (Paperback)
This is an out-of-print book that I paid a small fortune for. There is very little out there on the topic of desiging and building a house on a difficult site. Regrettably, I have now discovered the title of this book is extremely misleading. Nearly all of the houses shown are built on large level pads (!?!). A few are partly constructed on the gentlest of slopes. None of the project locations shown here would remotely qualify as a "difficult site" in California. There are no "zero-lot-line" lots, no real hillside lots. Nothing. Further, all of the home plans (except one) are for highly conventional and rather unimaginative traditional designs, similar to those found on numerous house plan websites. What a letdown. If one of these books becomes available, don't be tempted.
