Fashionable tiny homes can be more aspirational than realistic. Ditto for large homes. A small home (400-1200 sqft) is the better size for most folks. In this book, shelter maven Lloyd Kahn collects home ideas for small homes that are built by the owners, or at least designed by the owners. The small size of the homes featured here encourage hand-made details that you could not complete in large home. Hand made everything is only one benefit of a small home; others include affordability, low ecological footprint, low maintenance, etc. The overall message in this gallery of hundreds of hand-built small homes is that small homes can be incredibly beautiful, adequately spacious, potentially affordable, and in most ways preferable to a large home. And that you &#8212; you the reader &#8212; should be able to build one yourself, with help. While you could build a tiny house, a small house offers many more advantages over tiny and few added downsides. The many hundreds of clear shots in these 220 color pages supply very practical solutions on how other small home makers have squeezed high quality living into a small space.
