Description

Designing an eco home is as much about working with your natural surroundings as it is about planning to use the right materials for your building. In this book, Christopher Day draws on his extensive experience to explain the key principles of eco-home design, focussing on natural methods rather than expensive technology. Fully illustrated, it highlights how aesthetics, comfort, and economy arise from eco-responsible design: theyre not add-ons, nor are ecology and art in conflict. This book will give you essential guidance in: working with the surrounding landscape; choosing materials; making sure your eco home suits your needs; and retro-fitting an existing building.

Author Biography:

Christopher Day has studied architecture and sculpture and has been committed to eco-architecture and an ecological lifestyle since the 1970s. He has received four design awards, including a Prince of Wales Award, for his work on eco-houses and Steiner schools. He pioneered a consensus design method, which has now been used in over 60 projects.
