An architect who has worked on over 700 houses, with sturdy frames of robust beams and pillars, beautiful solid wood floors and ceilings, and textured plaster walls using natural soil and pigments, reveals the methods for building a satisfactory house. Amidst the information overload, the book throws a stone at the reality that many people seeking a house "know a lot of things they don't need to know and know too little about what they should know."
