Home Design and Arch Books

There have been a plethora of new contemporary home design books published in the last 4 years and I think I own most of them. Yes, I do have over 30 home books now. Here are some of our favorites after a quick look through and judging by the number of pages we marked:

House: American Houses for the New Century, Cathy Lang Ho and Raul A. Barreneche
Cottages: The New Style, James Grayson Trulove; NOTE: some of the photography in this book is blurry and poor
Sustainable Homes: 26 Designs that Respect the Earth, James Grayson Trulove
Designing the Good Home, Dennis Wedlick
The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture, Alanna Stang and Christopher Hawthorne

The last one is the best and the home on the cover is definitely inspiring ours. While all the titles and themes are toward green/sustainable homes (a good thing) we selected them because of the great modern architecture within.
