Kevin McCloud’s Principles of Home: Making a Place to Live
Kevin McCloud’s Principles of Home: Making a Place to Live
An interesting book looking at different aspects of the home and discussing amongst many things sustainable housing such as that built by his company Hab Housing.
Kevin addresses very real and solvable domestic issues: What is the perfect kitchen layout? How to create a feeling of space in traditionally sized rooms? How to create an extension that works? How best to choose colour for function? What to use for insulation? How to shop for second hand? And how best to manage home waste and recycling?
