Like smaller cars, they're tighter, more energy efficient, and often more affordable. And smaller houses frequently make the most sense for first-time homeowners, young families, and empty nesters.
Inside More Small Houses you'll find 31 articles on small homes collected from the pages of Fine Homebuilding magazine. Each is less than 2,000 sq. ft.--some much smaller--yet each is a study in craft and efficiency of space. The homes include a mountain retreat, an island homestead, an urban row house, a timber-frame farmhouse, an apartment over a garage, a duplex with a rooftop garden, a Craftsman-style cottage, and more.
Whether you're remodeling your existing house or building a new one, this book provides a broad array of design ideas that will show you creative ways to make a small house feel larger and will inspire you to think big about small spaces.
The articles here have never before been collected in book form.
