About this product
Product Information
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.

"This gentle book offers a route out of the nightmare of so much callous modern construction. I was inspired." --Colin Amery, Financial Times, on Places of the Soul, "This book is informative, and builders, designers or anyone planning a self-build project will find much useful information and advice." -- David Phythian "Besides widening the eco-design debate beyond simplistic energy-conservation, this book describes complicated issues clearly enough for the most non-technical reader to understand." -- Prof. Dr Justyn Ochocki, Medical University of Lodz "Christopher is the UK's foremost practitioner of soulful architecture and place-making. I would urge anyone considering building a new house to read his latest gem, The Eco-Home Design Guide." -- Peter Stirling, Managing Director, Stirling Developments Ltd "The generous use of illustrations and side notes makes this an easy to use guide, and it is a must-have reference for every architect, homeowner, and developer in the operation and construction of homes, retail, and office buildings." -- Richard Erganian, developer "A delightfully accessible reach-for book. I find so many people blundering and wandering in circles on their eco house creation journey, this is just the thing they were missing." -- Vicky Moller, election candidate for Plaid Cymru "A unique text in the study of the elements which constitutes effective, sustainable architectural de-sign for healthy living." -- Lino Bianco, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty for the Built Environment "Christopher Day is one of Britain's most outstanding holistic and ecological architects and this book is a timely gift when freeing ourselves from the dependence on fossil fuel has become an urgent imperative." -- Satish Kumar, Editor-in-Chief, Resurgence & Ecologist magazine "This book is an ideal guide for those who wish to explore to the greatest depth the possibilities for designing their own eco-homes." -- Professor Chris Tweed, Welsh School of Architecture "In The Eco-Home Design Guide , Christopher Day makes the technical simple even for non-scientific readers. With gentle humour, this most gifted of architects shares his vision of a living architecture, demonstrating that eco-design CAN be supremely nourishing for the soul." -- Susan Swire, Author of Secrets of the Feel-Good Home "You could hardly find a better man to lead you through the challenging process of creating an eco home from scratch, or of renovating an existing building to meet eco criteria." -- Angela Neustatter, journalist and author of A Home for the Heart, "The author certainly understands the basics of ecological design and construction and does a good job of introducing you to most of the issues involved and choices that need to be made." --Kelly Hart, naturalbuildingblog.com, "Presents ideas not only for a healthy planet but a healthy spirit--ultimately two conditions that are irrevocably linked. Day addresses the costs of building, from environmental pollution to social consequences such as crime and ill health. He looks at place and the unseen influences the environment imposes upon us, and he considers the past, both as a means to understanding the current condition of the planet and as a source for the wisdom we'll need to design this new spiritually healthy earth." -- Natural Homes Magazine on Spirit and Place, "This gentle book offers a route out of the nightmare of so much callous modern construction. I was inspired." --Colin Amery, Financial Times, on Places of the Soul, "Presents ideas not only for a healthy planet but a healthy spirit--ultimately two conditions that are irrevocably linked. Day addresses the costs of building, from environmental pollution to social consequences such as crime and ill health. He looks at place and the unseen influences the environment imposes upon us, and he considers the past, both as a means to understanding the current condition of the planet and as a source for the wisdom we'll need to design this new spiritually healthy earth." -- Natural Homes Magazine on Spirit and Place

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
