Small Houses (Great Houses)

Small Houses

Small houses have a lot to offer. They're less expensive to build, more energy efficient and easier to maintain than big homes. And as this volume proves, small houses don't have to feel small. 

In this collection of 37 articles from Fine Homebuilding magazine, you'll find new houses and remodels, urban rowhouses and country retreats, and guest cottages that double as work studios. Some are proffesionallly designed and engineered, other are simple owner-built creations. There's a playhouse, a studio apartment over a garage, and some wonderful advice on how landscaping can make a small house feel larger. 

Whether you're remodeling or building new, here is a book full of practical design ideas and construction information that will help you realize just how beautiful small can be.
