Editorial Reviews

Presents 37 fairly conventional, high-end, custom-built barn-style homes, with a brief summary of the home's design, location, and other relevant details. Color photographs, all supplied by a single company which is shamelessly promoted in the introduction, present views of the interior, exterior, and floor plan of each house. Annotation c.
