The Not So Big House

Creating the Not So Big House
by Sarah Susanka
The Taunton Press, 2000.

The author uses 25 Not So Big houses selected from 200 submissions from all over the nation to illustrate concepts and ideas of function layout, space use, decoration, etc. Emphasis is on appreciation of aspects of the architecture design that are visible, tangible to the dweller. Floor plans of each house are included.

The book is hugely educational; the pictures, tons of them, fabulous.

The author has another best-selling book The Not So Big House. I didn't see that one. The guess is that the earlier one is theory whereas the later one is examples.

I borrowed the book from the Daley Library in Bridgeport.
