On the heels of the recession, there's been a resurgence of
interest in small houses (1500 square feet and less) and even
smaller retreats (800 square feet and less). People appreciate that
living smaller is easier on their bank balance, their time and the
environment. Plus, small houses and retreats are fun. Magazines and
newspapers (like the New York Times) are featuring these smaller
wonders more and more frequently, and architects are displaying
more of them on their websites. Now is the time to re-present
fundamental small-house design strategies - complete with
whole-house case studies for homeowners eager to simplify smartly.
The opening chapter presents ten clearly defined strategies for
creating a great small house (including borrowed view and daylight,
multipurpose spaces, pockets for privacy and using quality
materials where it counts), setting the stage for 25 small houses
profiled in the second part of the book. The houses are organised
by the nature of their location (beach, rural, village, urban) and
include new construction and renovations/additions.
