Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryThe Big Book of Small House Designs is a collection of more than 500 drawings illustrating all aspects of 75 small homes of various styles, from a New England farmhouse to a sophisticated steel frame to a Santa Fe ranch. Each design includes detailed floor plans, section drawings, elevations, and perspectives, as well as a description of the materials used and landscaping around the home. Keeping in mind that a chief priority for a small home is often energy efficiency, most of the plans incorporate some energy-efficient element. There are dozens of plans suitable for every environment and climate in the country. The designs are all a direct result of several international competitions that solicited from architects the best homes of 1,250 square feet or less. Contact information for the architects is provided in the back of the book. |

Bait and Switch

From the Misleading cover - I surmised I would be looking at many recent designs. Instead the book is full of recycled house designs that appear to be right out of the Grocery Store "101 exciting house plans" . Many were probably "contemporary" in 1978? After carefully searching the book - I discovered the fabulous house on the cover is merely a stock image from Getty and is not in the book [ nor anything like it.] The house designs that are included lack any meaningful information - actually less than the Grocery store books. I judged the book by its cover - my bad.

I just love this-Tons of photos-great information written for real people and not just the design community-We can all take something from this book and apply it to our lives to make them more comfortable. I am really loving it-it is refreshing-Better than Susankas Small House books-which are mostly photos.
read the cover first.

Loved it!

This book what just what I was looking for. My husband and I do not need a large home since we are "empty nesters" but did not want to build the usual small house or go the condo route. This book has so many unique designs and there is something for everyone's taste.
Worth every penny!
GLASSES PLEASE
Rating:
The type and drawings in this book are so small you need a magnifying glass to read it. This book might be more suited to the classroom.
