About this product

Product Information

Ten years ago, Sarah Susanka started a revolution in home design with a deceptively simple message: quality should always come before quantity. Now, the book that celebrated that bold declaration is back in this special 10th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction and 16 additional pages that explore three new homes. Nearly a quarter-million people bought this ground-breaking book when it was published in Fall 1998. Since then, the book's simple message -- that quality should come before quantity -- has started a movement in home design. Homeowners now know to expect more. And the people responsible for building our homes have also gotten the message. Architects and builders around the country report clients showing up with dog-eared copies of The Not So Big House, pages marked to a favorite section. Why are we drawn more to smaller, more personal spaces than to larger, more expansive ones? Why do we spend more time in the kitchen than we do in the formal dining room? The Not So Big House proposes clear, workable guidelines for creating homes that serve both our spiritual needs and our material requirements, whether for a couple with no children, a family, empty nesters, or one person alone. In 1999, Sarah Susanka was then architect and principal with Mulfinger, Susanka, Mahady & Partners, the firm selected to design the 1999 Life Dream House brought Frank Lloyd Wright's same common-sense, human-scale design principles to our generation. Consider which rooms in your house you use and enjoy most, and you have a sense of the essential principles of The Not So Big House. Whether you seek comfort and calm or activity and energy at home, The Not So Big House offers a place for every mood.

    worth it at the right price

    This Not so big house is actually quite big in my terms. Many of the plans are close to or over 2000 sf. If you are looking for a tiny house book this is not it. This book is for affluent people She does have great ideas about space usage. Basically challenging use to think about space usage. Do we really need it, can a space serve multiple functions. These ideas can be incorporated regardless of your budget. So if can get a good deal on this book, it is worth it, which I did, luv good will books

    Makes you look at housing through different eyes.

    Her houses are so creatively simple and show how to have a space you really would like to inhabit.

    I love that she embraces space efficiency w/affection.

    I often look at architectural and interior design magazines and books to dream and try to discover my own style. I discovered "The Not So Big House" when working on a project for my graphic design class. My concept for the project was "environments that encourage natural and creative behavior." No other book or magazine showed as many ideas that captured my love of light, space and nature. I bought the book for my hope chest.
