Patterns of Home: The Ten Essentials of Enduring Design

Great homes don’t just happen—they follow timeless patterns that make them feel right.

In Patterns of Home, three acclaimed architects distill decades of design wisdom into ten essential principles that define enduring residential architecture.

Drawing from the influential work of A Pattern Language, this book offers a practical and inspiring guide to creating homes that are not only beautiful, but deeply livable.

Inside, you’ll discover:

Ten foundational design patterns • —from “Inhabiting the Site” to “Flow Between Rooms”—that shape how we experience space. Real-world examples • of homes that embody these principles, with floor plans, photographs, and design insights. Guidance for homeowners, builders, and designers • on how to apply these patterns to new construction, renovations, or additions. A holistic approach • that balances aesthetics, function, and emotional resonance.

Whether you're designing your dream home or simply want to understand what makes a space feel welcoming and whole, this book is a thoughtful companion for anyone who believes that good design is both an art and a way of life.
