Sandy Isenstadt examines how architects, interior designers, and
landscape designers worked to enhance spatial perception in middle
class houses visually. The desire for spaciousness reached its
highest pitch where it was most lacking, in the small,
single-family houses that came to be the cornerstone of middle
class life in the nineteenth century. In direct conflict with
actual dimensions, spaciousness was linked to a tension unique to
the middle class - between spatial aspirations and financial
limitations. Although rarely addressed in a sustained fashion by
theorists and practitioners, and the inhabitants of houses
themselves, Isenstadt argues that spaciousness was central to the
development of modern American domestic architecture, with explicit
strategies for perceiving space being pivotal to modern house
design. Through professional endorsement, concern for visual space
found its way into discussion of real estate and law.
