By Sarah Susanka
Sarah Susanka proposes clear, workable guidelines for creating homes that serve both spiritual needs and material requirements, whether for a couple with no children, a family, empty nesters or one person alone. With dozens of gorgeous photographs and illuminating illustrations she shows how attention to detail, not raw space makes a house feel good. This book is not really about small houses, it's about good design. And with good design small houses can equal and even surpass larger houses in livability. The final chapter addresses sustainability, waste reduction, recycling and energy efficiency.
