ABOUT THE BOOK
Design an Expandable House chronicles the multi-staged development of an
elegant 3-story house using Styrofoam ICF building blocks and other innovative building
materials. It shows how to build a house in stages, starting with an initial living space
and systematically adding to the structure by design.
Following a trip to France to study the architecture of a classic Normandy chateau,
author Stanley Mazor created floor plans on his home computer, and constructed an
1,800 sq.ft. 2 bedroom, 2� bath summer home. Two years later, following the original
plan, a 3,000 sq.ft. left wing was added.
The techniques used and lessons learned in the process make this book an ideal resource for new
home designers and professionals alike. It is profusely illustrated with more than 70
photographs and many diagrams.
