In the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright, noted residential architect Charles Woods has been designing houses that express a naturalism within the idiom of modernism for the past 20 years. Now, for the first time, Woods makes his innovative designs accessible to almost everyone by introducing an original and affordable strategy for the design of energy-efficient, environmentally healthy homes. From preliminary design to post-construction evaluation, each project is presented in dear, complete detail. Woods leads readers step by step through the initial programming and planning, the production of final design and construction drawings, and on the actual construction of the house. Topics such as programming, fees, bidding, and cost savings are discussed at length.
