Common Walls/Private Homes: Multi-Residential Design
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This unusual book gives the architect, builder, and developer a "living" record of the successes-and failures-in recent multiresidential housing throughout the United States. Using a detailed, carefully planned questionnaire, the authors asked leading architects, developers, and owners to describe the design objectives and the strategies they used to meet those objectives-including financial goals, energy and maintenance efficiency, and the levels of acceptance of those living in the residences and in the surrounding communities. The book provides in-depth case studies of multiresidential housing-including the highly praised Annie Maxim House in Rochester, Massachusetts-and a uniform method for evaluating housing design. Each case study is documented with site plans, architectural plans and elevations, and a complete photographic record.
