The result is a style that borrows from vernacular forms and materials, but uses them in new ways.</span></span><br /><span style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span>Issues of sustainability and energy conservation are also key to contemporary country house design. Orienting windows to capture heat in winter, but protect the house from the sun in summer is an ongoing design objective. The modern country house is a hybrid of several ingenious ideas blended together to create a modern, sustainable and highly livable architecture that respects the past and looks forward into the future.</span></span><br /><span style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"></span><br /><span style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span>Also available from the same author:<br /></span><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic; text-decoration: underline;">California Cool</span></span><span> ISBN: 9781864703986</span></span><br /><br /></td></tr><tr style="height:180pt;"><td style="width:468pt;padding:0.75pt 0.75pt 0pt 0.75pt;border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none" valign="top" width="624"><br /></td></tr></table>
