Summary: How to fix a floorplan
Review: Home Space Planning is a collection of 20 problem floorplans, each with 2-20 modifications (in increasing complexity and difficulty) suggested by the architect.

Though the book is 80% pictures, the short paragraphs describing the problems and solutions pictured quickly teach one the remodeler's art. You'll learn to quickly identify a problem kitchen or a noisy bedroom, and learn a variety of fixing tricks -- from rearranging cabinets to moving walls to adding a second floor.
