## Description

This insightful collection from the editors of Fine Homebuilding magazine showcases an inspiring range of small houses that are redefining modern living. Whether you’re considering downsizing, building a new home, or simply seeking design inspiration, Small Houses serves as a comprehensive guide to the advantages of small living. Join the movement towards thoughtful, efficient, and beautiful homes that enhance your lifestyle without overwhelming your space. Key Features: A Shift in Trends: As the housing market embraces smaller living spaces, this book captures the essence of contemporary small house design. It offers a refreshing perspective on how less can indeed be more, providing homeowners with affordable and easier-to-maintain options during challenging economic times. Diverse Inspirations: Small Houses features a curated selection of homes that are new and remodeled, urban and rural, traditional and modern.

Review: Filled with ideas - This is a polished edition is filled with interesting designs, floor plans, and photographs. There is an emphasis on the efficient use of space and energy conservation. Each house is described by the architect. If you are thinking of downsizing and building your own home, this book is for you.
Review: Great book if your interested in getting the most out of the least space - My only gripe is 1,800 square feet is considered a 'small space' in this book. Beautiful pictures, floor plans, and it goes through things you need to consider when building a small space. Most of the pictures and styles seem to be taken from the west coast lifestyle (Oregon, Washington). They do cover small 'cottage' style living spaces, and up to about 2-3 bedrooms. My own personal taste though, I'm not a big fan of living on several floors, and I wish they covered small spaces spread out on one floor that weren't a mother in law suite type. But, it gave us food for thought on how to possible live in a smaller house size later on.
