The complete terrace book;: How to design, build, furnish, plant and enjoy your terrace, patio, lanai, deck, porch, atrium, or engawa

The terrace today is one of the most important, most frequently used "rooms" in the home-a space for living outdoors, for entertaining, for cooking and serving al fresco meals, or for sitting and watching the stars come out. A terrace can be a simple deck, patio, or porch-or can range to such exotica as a Hawaiian Iannai, or a Pacific-island-style engawa. Terrace enthusiast Stanley Schuler concentrates on the multiprupose general living terrace, with side excursions into gazebos and garden houses. In his typically clear text, accompanied by more than 100 photographs, graphs, and tables, he tells the new-home owner and the older-home renovator the practical steps to follow to achieve the terrace of his dreams. The Total Guide to Basic Planning, Details on Material and Construciton, Heating and Cooling, Wiring and Lighting, Furnishings, and so much more.

Here is a new, larger edition of a classic reference. From its origins on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the seventeenth century, this charming and practical style of house has been transplanted and modified to accommodate varying life styles from as far away as Hawai`i. Stanley Schuler has brought together the architectural history of the Cape Cod House with many floor-plans and photographs to be studied and enjoyed by all who live in, restore, or want to build their own Cape Cod House. Examples range from the tiny single style to double, triple, modified and "modern" interpretations--all of which were practical at the time they were built.
