Universal Methods of Design, Expanded and Revised by Bruce Hanington; Bella Martin

★★★★★ The publisher has provided a copy for review. 
I used the first version of this text to design our first two houses. I'm not a designer or builder but a practitioner. I plan homes to suit our family and business.

This is an indispensable and comprehensive review of basic design principles to help shape spaces that work for everyone, regardless of disability or ability. If you're a decorator, designer, or builder - or just curious about what makes a house sing - you'll want to get a copy.
