Fresh perspectives on how good design can create stylish yet ecologically sound living spaces in small-scale homes. Anyone who has faced the challenges of limited living space will find inspiration in this survey of the latest trends in environmentally sensitive, small-scale residential designs. More than fifty residential spaces are profiled—from woodsy houses and repurposed barns to cool apartments and urban lofts—both inside and out. Most of the projects were designed by up-and-coming architects, and each design proves that small-scale efficiency as well as beautiful, thoughtful design can overcome the apparent constraints of a small setting. Environmental impact is a growing concern, so each project was chosen because of its ecological sensitivity. Each case history describes the challenges confronting the designer and the solutions. Creating color schemes to enhance the feeling of openness, taking advantage of high ceilings to make multiple levels, and using collapsible furniture and sliding doors to maximize space are some of the design solutions that can be applied in any situation. Filled with beautiful color photographs and helpful floorplans, this book is a remarkable showcase of how good design can transform any small space into a comfortable, modern—and environmentally sensitive—home.

    4.0 out of 5 stars the paper is good quality heavy paper
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I got this as a Christmas present for my father. He's a general contractor particularly enjoys contemporary homes. While the book is a paperback, the paper is good quality heavy paper, so it should have some lasting power and the pictures are clear and crisp. Unlike a home plan book, each house has a fairly lengthy write-up which includes some of the construction details. This is a nice plus for someone like my father. The houses have different types of 'green' solutions and each write up discusses the house's particular solution and focus. There's a nice variety of locations, architects, and conditions (hot and cold weather, rural and urban), so it's a nice little overview of small eco-housing solutions and ideas. The book also covers a variety of architectural styles with a pronounced lean towards contemporary open floor plans (perhaps inevitable given the size of the homes). In my case, it's a good match for my father's preferences, but if you're looking for more traditional styles this book might not be as much to your taste. If you have a liking for Spanish or Mediterranean styles, this is a definite pass, since that's one building style this book pretty much completely missed.

    Although it is most photos (which I very much like) it was very well focused into details and features pointing, it provided details on particular items or design ideas.

    Excellent book one of the best so far!

    Love Cristina Paredes B.'s editing intervention.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Some small eco houses
    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I was really looking forward to this book. The small house concept really intrigues me. But as others have mentioned, half of this book is houses over 1500 sq ft. Some of the houses are not houses at all, but 800 or 100 sq ft additions. I would have also liked to see more pictures of the design detail that addresses small house challenges such as storage. There are very few closets shown or explained.

    In all I enjoyed the first half of the book.

    This book provides a good survey of the types of eco houses out there, from the smallest least expensive struture to the largest. However, it does not go into much detail and in the end is little more than a pretty picture book.
