More than 550 gorgeous, full-color photographs and 250 renderings allow you to experience homes actually built from the designs, plus some interiors. Virtually every home style is offered, including farmhouses, country cottages, contemporaries, luxury estates, vacation retreats, and regional specialties.

Get practical tips and advice on everything from selecting a site and hiring a contractor to adding finishing touches like trimwork and landscaping. Once you've selected your dream home, you can obtain easily customizable construction blueprints, cost estimates, materials lists, and CAD files.
