Remodeling has always been one of the cornerstones of the homebuilding industry. With the recent collapse of the housing market, more and more homeowners are realising that if they want a better house, their best option is to remodel the one they live in rather than buy or build new. In this most timely remodeling book, maverick architect-author Duo Dickenson, whose architecture practice has never been busier, explains how to renovate in place to get the home you want. How do you avoid these pitfalls and still take a home that is binding (and often beginning to fall apart) into a state that allows it to accommodate the needs of your family in an economy that doesnt allow you to buy/sell/trade your way up and out? Knowledge is the great facilitator of hope. This is a book of options and solutions for people who are desperate to transform the houses they live in into homes that fit the way they live and reflect their values.
