Elusive piece of the puzzle for me
We have been struggling to design a small modern cabin for almost 4 years now. While I have been studying books on sustainable building, I had not considered "not so big" until reading this book. I also bought and read and LOVED the Creating the Not So Big House. See my blog for more information. [...]

An Okay Book
The houses in this book are not really that small. I am in the process of planning out a 1200 SF home, and that seems tiny compared to some of the houses in these books. I mainly got it just to get some space use ideas, and just see what other people are doing. It is not a great book and there is better info out there. The biggest...

Great Value and Resource,

Bought this for a gift. Have both books in my collection and a source of inspiration from time to time.
Sarah's books are anywhere from good to great. These first two in the series (Not so Big ..) are great. Used them during the design of our home. Lots of good ideas and thoughts to consider. Timeless. Can't beat the value of these two books together (and hardback, too). Makes a great gift for someone who is thinking of designing and building a new home or just remodeling. See her other books, too. Sarah would make Frank Lloyd Wright proud - yes, even him!

The not so big house,

The two books present the concept of the not so big house using examples by various architechs appproach. I it would have been better to explain how to work with your own project and what to ask for, but otherwise is great.

I mainly got it just to get some space use ideas, and just see what other people are doing. It is not a great book and there is better info out there. The biggest takeaway I can give you is that these are not TINY houses at all. They are just not 5000sf "Mc Mansions" |
