Résumé:

"This is a book about personal desires ... and houses that satisfy them. These are desires for living the best possible way, within the framework of conditions. First is the dream, big or small. Sometimes the dream must bow to reality. Otherwise a house could never be. The conditions that give shape to the dream may be those of location or budget or family or impulse. The solution of all these is a successful home."--Foreword.
