In this book, Duo Dickinson demonstrates that a fabulous custom house doesn't depend on a fabulous price tag. he offers real-world situations where unique and imaginative homes are build on re-life budgets.

Until now, homeowners have had to choose between the opposing worlds of budget-friendly mediocrity and unaffordable fantacy. Responding to these limited choices, House on a Budget offers a third way of building, one that is grounded in the realilties of time and money and focuses on the homeowners' fondest hopes and dreams.

"This is a book that tells you how to get the house that's right for you, instead of some standard, one-size-fits-all model. It's about the fun of a good architecture and how to get it on a sensible budget."
--Robert Campbell, Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic, The Boston Globe
