The Renovation Rulebook Just Got Regional

Architectural Digest has published a guide to climate-responsive renovation, built around five case studies of homes updated specifically to withstand the natural disasters most common to their part of the country. The premise is straightforward: a remodel that holds up in one region can fall short in another, so the fixes have to be local, not generic. For American homeowners weighing their next renovation, the guide makes the case that protection starts with understanding what the climate right outside the door actually demands.
