All of the pictures were taken by the author while looking at model houses These very visual subjects are easier to understand with the photos and drawings used both here and in Better Houses, Better Living

Houses everywhere in all price ranges are better homes when designers and builders think of them as places to live in as well as products to sell. (Gilroy, CA)

The problem of overlooking the user in the design and construction of homes is countrywide. These photos are a sampling.

The subjects chosen here are ones where the user-friendly and -unfriendly nature of the examples in the photos is evident with little or no explanation. Page references to the discussions in Better Houses, Better Living are given.

The nature of photos is that they are memory intensive. On the Internet this means longer transmission times to your browser. We have done what we could to keep the download times minimal.
