Synopsis
Architect Sarah Susanka believes that spiritual and practical needs are better addressed in the intimate setting of a small house rather than in the "palatial" or "spacious" homes pushed by the real estate industry. Here she outlines her ideas, and illustrates them with an inspiring collection of real homes, beautifully photographed, with floorplans and explanatory text. Susanka has been the wellspring of the current "small is beautiful" movement--a reaction to what she (and many others) see as a real estate market that's out of control and unresponsive to the needs of the average person.

Industry Reviews
"[NOT SO BIG HOUSE] is full of practical plans on how to do just that by using space more efficiently and elegantly. Hundreds of photos clinch the case that not-so-big is beautiful with inspiring shots of bookshelves tucked under stairways, bedrooms equipped with lofts, and gorgeous window seats, fireplaces, cabinetry, woodwork, tile, and windows."
