The title is a little misleading. My home is about 300sqft. I think that's pretty small. "Small" in this book is 2900sqft.

The author is an architect and the book is mostly about ways to design and build the interiors of so-called small houses. I was hoping it would have ideas on how to maximize small spaces. It did show nice storage ideas (for a 3000sqft mini-mansion), so 2 stars for that and the pretty pictures.

The author of the book has a funny sense of small. All the homes featured are larger than my current home and I picked this book up for ideas when I downsize from 2100 square feet to under 1300. Wrong book for this although I like the office nook ideas.

Interesting book on fairly glitzy design in America.

Their version of 'small' kind of intrigued me. So the home I grew up in would be considered in the 'teeny tiny' category I suppose. Not my favorite design book but I did grab a few good ideas.

The smallest homes featured in this book were 1800 sq. feet; most were 2000 or more - not my idea of a small home!
