'Creating The Not So Big House' is the blueprint in action. Focusing on key design strategies such as visual weight, layering and framed openings, Sarah Susanka takes an up-close look at 25 houses designed according to "Not So Big" principles.
The houses are from all over North America in a rich variety of styles - from a tiny New York apartment to a southwestern adobe, a traditional Minnesota farmhouse, and a cottage community in the Pacific Northwest.
Whether new or remodelled, these one-of-a-kind homes provide all the inspiration you need to create your own Not So Big House.
