3.0 out of 5 stars I've not had a chance to read it yet.
Nice big book. Lots of pages. When I do finally get a chance to read it, I'm sure it will be very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate House Book by Conran et al., August 20, 2004
This review is from: The Ultimate House Book: For Home Design in the Twenty-First Century (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent reference for decorating a private

home. It describes flexible living quarters, work at home and

family quarters. There is a basic budget model, as well as

provision for more elaborate and expensive customizations.

The work contains an extensive materials directory which is

useful for deciding upon the material components and pricing

structure. Both form and function are described in detail.

There are contrasting arguments for employing vulcanized

rubber, plastics and marble. The book is excellent if it is

utilized wisely in connection with planned home designs.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few house design books you need, April 3, 2007

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ultimate House Book (Hardcover)
Book store (and Amazon) shelves in the architecture section are filled with coffee table books with large pictures of homes we can never afford to own, or homes that look more like a museum show case than a place where people actually live. This book is different.

It gets you in the right mind set for starting to think about designing your own home. Practical, with lots of images that contain useful suggestions. Start with this book, then buy others.

This edition is a comlete re-write from the version I bought in 2002.
