Synopsis
House sizes will shrink in the 21st century. Tight zoning restrictions, lack of available land and cost constraints are some of the factors affecting the trend towards downsizing. This text provides a road map to design of the small house in the 21st century, including in-depth analysis of award-winning projects in smaller-scale housing (areas of 1500 to 3500 square feet), considering history, site selection, interviews with architect/client, construction and budgets; statistical analysis of space allocation for major living areas, such as living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens; future trends in prefabrication, "smart" design and the demands of changing demographic forces; and owner and architect perspectives on why projects succeed or fail, with a number of case examples. All plans are drawn to the same scale.

From the Author
There are architects who listen, create and build.
Houses suffer when architects follow their muse at the cost of their client's lifestyle when unthinking designs get built. The houses in this book are smaller than "normal", but better than "standard" because their designers listened. Please look for EXPRESSIVE DETAILS, also by McGraw Hill, where the designers listened to the tasks at hand, versus preconceived notions of how to bury opportunities for expression.My books all focus on residential design as a discipline apart from the rest of architecture, a place where people dominate aesthetics, and infuse the final products with an idiosyncatic delight not often found in bigger, more public buildings. If you feel that architecture as proclaimed in the media has left you without a connection to manifest your domestic dreams, take heart and find a few dozen architects in these books who follow the innovation imperative without turning a blind eye to their clients' hopes and the potentials present in even the smallest of design opportunities. Thanks for clicking this far into an unexpected free-associative rant....
