Summary Schafer shows how traditional and classical principles can blend with a sense of place to create beautifully realized home in a range of styles. He shares his essential toolkit for building a house, and then presents seven homes that, while all unique, are at ease in the land they occupy and contain elements that readers will want to emulate in their own lives.
