Great ideas, beautiful photography,

This review is from: The New American Dream: Living Well in Small Homes (Hardcover)
I bought this book at Strand Bookstore in New York because of the beautiful photography and details the author included about each featured home. I love that there is a movement (apparently) towards smaller homes. I'm originally from Houston, and the disgusting scale of houses in the suburbs is such a contrast to the wonderful buildings featured in this book.The only problem I had was I felt that most of the dwellings featured were second homes. I would like to have seen more primary residences.

Smaller is Better,
By Pignola H. Read (Victoria, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New American Dream: Living Well in Small Homes (Hardcover)
The New American Dream is a marvelous pictoral essay presenting a well argued thesis for the superiority of small spaces. The breakdown of the book into sections which focus on specific aesthetic merits that small houses and apartments can provide isextremely well articulated. It is so refreshing to be able enjoy a book on design that has a text worthy of its photographs.
