The key to creating a house that is memorable, satisfying, and enduring is to apply a group of design concepts--or "patterns"--that focus on the experience of being in a home. In this groundbreaking work, internationally respected architects Max Jacobson, Murray Silverstein, and Barbara Winslow present the ten essential patterns that shape and define a well-crafted home. Patterns explore the presence of light, the relationship between indoors and out, the flow through rooms, and the feel of one space as you are sitting in another. Clearly written and profusely illustrated with houses from all over the country, "Patterns of Home," brings the timeless lessons of residential design to anyone seeking inspiration and direction in the design or remodel of a home. The patterns described in the book can make the difference between a home that satisfies only the material needs of the owners and one that captures the essence of home.

Having read A Pattern Language I approached this book skeptically. I did not think the authors could capture the essence of a good home in 10 patterns. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This book does not contain 10 patterns, in Alexander's sense of the word. It discusses 10 themes. Each theme references several patterns (implicitly or explicitly). I did not keep a formal count, but I would estimate that over half of Alexander's patterns that can be applied to home design are referenced in this book. This new look at the patterns makes the book worth reading even if you have read A Pattern Language, but it also makes it worth reading if you care about what makes a good home but do not want to read the nearly 1200 pages that make up A Pattern Language. If you are buying or building a home, it should be recommended reading.
Without further detail the 10 themes are: Inhabiting the Site; Creating Rooms, Outside and In; Sheltering Roof; Capturing Light; Parts in Proportion; The Flow Through Rooms; Private Edges, Common Core; Refuge and Outlook; Places in Between; Composing with Materials. ( )
