Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-30 00:00:00 Randy Wilcox A solid 3.5 stars for me. Love the philosophy of design in this book, that home is about more than design, it's about being human too. Resonated with Ilse Crawford's comments on feeling ourselves at home (reminds me of Christopher Alexander's work, which is a must read). Found myself flipping through the book more than reading it in detail though - lovely photos - skipping the more general sections, because they're so general as to be obvious (we enjoy being outside, it's important to get enough sleep, etc). Interspersed with those obvious general comments though, is some real wisdom on what it means to really live in physical space.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-26 00:00:00 Sara Smith Forerunner to A Frame For Life, covers some of the same ideas, even uses some of the same photos! Still worth reading whether all-the-way-through or inspirational browsing, & beautifully illustrated. Loosely based around Maslow's hierarchy of needs, so thematic not room-by-room so much.
