You know that saying "Less is more"? That's what this book is about. Sarah Susanka shows us, with beautiful photographs and clear instructions, her philosophy of design. Indoors and out a home designed to blend with its surroundings and flow from one space to the next feels comfortable, regardless of its size. A huge home with a poor design will have spaces that are never used and not enough space where it is needed. Rather than living with generic design, this book advocates a customized approach to space. Ceilings can be lowered to create cozy spaces, storage can be built into empty walls. A small home with a thoughtful design is more comfortable, more practical and often more beautiful than the McMansion next door.
As we move toward a new economic reality, small, practical, sustainable homes will be in demand. This book, and the others in the series, can show us practical and beautiful ways to maximize space and minimize waste.
