Description

 What are the challenges architects face when designing dwelling spaces of a limited size? And what can these projects let us know about architecture – and architectural principles – in general?

In BIG little house, award-winning architect Donna Kacmar introduces twenty real-life examples of small houses. Every project is under 1,000 square feet (100 square meters) in size and, brought together, the designs reveal an attitude towards materiality, light, enclosure and accommodation which is unique to minimal dwellings. Even as a part of a trend to address growing concerns about minimising consumption and lack of inexpensive housing, the book demonstrates that small dwellings don’t seem to be all the time simply the results of budget constraints but constitute a deliberate design strategy in their own right.

Highly illustrated and in full-colour during, Every example is in response to interviews with the original architect and accompanied by detailed floor plans. This ground-breaking, beautifully designed text offers practical guidance to any professional architect or homeowner interested in small scale projects.
