Pretty Good House provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus on its inhabitants and the environment - but keeps in mind that few people have pockets deep enough to achieve a "perfect" solution. The essential idea is for homeowners to work within their financial and practical constraints both to meet their own needs and do as much for the planet as possible. A Pretty Good House is: . A house that' s as small as possible . Simple and durable, but also well designed . Insulated and air-sealed . Above all, it is affordable, healthy, responsible, and resilient AUTHORS: Michael Maines is a residential designer specialising in energy-efficient homes, sensitive renovations, and custom kitchens. He is a contributing editor to Fine Homebuilding magazine. Dan Kolbert is a carpenter and contractor, and for the past 10 years has been moderator of the original building science discussion group in Portland, Maine, where the Pretty Good House idea originated. Emily Mottram is the founder and principal of Mottram Architecture, specialising in new homes and renovations that are beautiful, functional, comfortable, healthy, and durable. Christopher Briley is principal architect at BRIBURN, a firm that designs and creates spaces that are energy efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly and that enhance the lives of their residents. 250 photographs, 50 illustrations
