Heavily used references

A Pattern Language, Chris Alexander
The theoretical ancestor of most of the books here.

Not So Big House, Susan Susanka
The first book by the Susanka machine. Heavily influenced by Chris Alexander and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Patterns of Home, Jacbosen
Pattern language adapted for residences of rich people by original Chris Alexander collaborators.

Updating ranches, Connolly and Wasserman
Great pictures and ideas.

At work at home, Zimmerman
Some nice ideas. Some crazy home offices (check out the kiva).

Atomic Ranch, Gringer-Brown
Nice ideas and some pure, dental-office cold ranches.
