The fun part

摘要

At Fine Homebuilding, we hold houses to a high standard. Our ideal home has a smart floor plan and is no bigger than it needs to be, is extremely durable, exceeds the energy codes for its climate, considers homeowner comfort and health with well-designed mechanicals and proper ventilation, and uses the homeowner's budget wisely to reach these goals. In light of all of this, I was recently challenged to justify the projects we choose to share in our HOUSES by Design department, which are commonly the most lavish and expensive projects in the magazine.
