Description

In an age of "McMansions", this international survey of the latest in residential architecture proves that small is beautiful, and responsible. The houses profiled are designed to make maximum use of the smallest possible footprint in order to protect the environment.

Here, they prove that efficiency, as well as beautiful, thoughtful design, can be had in a tiny setting. Each project includes a case history describing its design challenges and how the architect overcame them, a detailed blueprint for each house, full-colour photos of the interior and the exterior, and plans of the layout. This book will be an inspiration to anyone in the interior design or residential architecture field as well as to anyone considering a second home, and proves that environmentally responsible design principles are not just a style, but a philosophy for sustainable living.
