traditions

We love looking through traditional designs of other architects past and present to glean ideas and gain inspiration.  So we thought it would be a neat idea to put a bunch of our plans together into a book, gathering them into a central place for easy perusal.  We hope it inspires others in the design of traditional residential architecture.  Get your copy here.

Marianne Cusato’s Get Your House Right is an oft-used reference in our office.  It is a book dedicated to traditional residential design, filled with helpful diagrams and sketches.  Topics range from overall massing down to the smallest molding details.  This book is a great reference for any architect that utilizes traditional design principles, or would like to learn more about them.  Cusato not only shows us what to do, she includes examples of common mistakes to avoid.  The book is well organized, packed with information, and easy to follow from sketch to text.
