Small Houses that Are Efficient and Economical
Smaller homes are the way of the future. Like
smaller cars, they're tighter, more energy efficient, and often more
affordable. And smaller houses frequently make the most sense for
first-time homeowners, young families, and empty nesters.
Inside More Small Houses you'll find 31
articles on small homes collected from the pages of Fine
Homebuilding magazine. Each is less than 2,000 sq. ft. -- some much
smaller -- yet each is a study in craft and efficiency of space. The
homes include a mountain retreat, an island homestead, an urban row
house, a timber-frame farmhouse, an apartment over a garage, a
duplex with a rooftop garden, a Craftsman-style cottage, and more.
