内容简介 Book Description
A beautiful and inspiring display of humdrum houses across America reborn as colorful one-of-a-kind homes.

Many of today's young couples are trapped in a cookie-cutter "starter" house, ready to step up to something more spacious and reflective of their tastes but unable to afford it. Suburban Renewal reveals how--with an architect's help--they can remodel a ranch, reshape a cape, or rebuild a builder's colonial for far less than the cost of a new house. Its before-and-after photographs and instructive text show run-of-the-mill houses without a whiff of individuality transformed into unique dwellings with the personalized ambience of every householder's dreams.

Synopsis:
A guide to performing a makeover on an old home offers miraculous before-and-after photographs depicting low-cost efforts to remodel old homes. 12,500 first printing.

Publisher Comments :
America is awash in drab, uninspired, mundane houses all in cookie-cutter molds. In these days when the urge to step up to a more commodious house can prove very expensive, this book will prove a godsend by showing how one can remodel a Ranch, reshape a Cape, and rebuild a Builder's Colonial. Long viewed as "starter" houses, these American standards are now being turned into impressive "finisher" houses. The standards are perfect forms for altering, adding onto, and overlaying different architectural styles and details to create new, hybrid, one-of-a-kind homes. Architects are seeing these transformations in every part of the country, and this fascinating and useful book will provide endless inspiration for the fulfillment of homeowners' dreams.
