Creating the Inspired House: Discovering Your Place Called Home
I am a big fan of Connell's Homing Instinct: Using Your Lifestyle to Design & Build Your Home, so I was quite excited when I discovered that he had written a second book, Creating the Inspired House.
In comparison to Connell's first book, this book was a disappointment. Where Homing Instinct really got down to nitty gritty details, Creating the Inspired House is just another addition to the genre of books which feature a number of houses and describe them. That said, this book was a stellar example of that genre.
The most important factor in judging a book from this genre is whether or not the book contains houses you like. This book contained homes of many styles, including several modern homes. Since our house is going to be modern in styling, I appreciated the presence of those examples.
The other factor which made this book enjoyable was Connell's choice to talk about the people who created the house, the owners and builders. Often these books talk about homes without including the personal stories which went into creating those homes. The personal details made the book more interesting.
Overall, a good read.
