The Small House Book

From the Introduction of this 197 page book: "I live in a house smaller than some people's closets. My decision to inhabit just 90 square feet arose from some concerns I had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment and because I just do not want to maintain a lot of unused or unusable space. My house meets all of my domestic needs without demanding much in return. The simple, slower lifestyle it affords is a luxury for which I am continually grateful. If smaller, well-designed houses aren't the wave of the future, they certainly are a significant ripple on that wave. On these pages, I explain why. I also share my personal experiences with living in diminutive homes, meeting codes, and designing small spaces that work." The book is divided into the following chapters: Confessions of a Claustrophile; A Good Home; Making Space; and Portfolio of Houses. Each chapter includes dozens of color photos, charts and diagrams along with the descriptive text.
