2022 NYC Big Award, WINNER: Book Interior Design--Nonfiction
Smaller, more environmentally friendly houses seem to be the wave of the future. As people chose to move out of cities, finances and lifestyle will limit the size of the houses these buyers will choose.
This book includes lots of examples of small house options around the country, including ADUs (accessory dwelling units). Whether you're building a small house, renovating an older home, or purchasing something new, this book will provide inspiration. It compiles lots of previously difficult-to-find information in one place. The sidebars describe home systems and new materials helpful to any homeowner concerned about the environment and hoping to save money on energy and maintenance.
Smaller, more environmentally-friendly houses seem to be the wave of the future. As people chose to move out of cities, finances and life style will limit the size of the houses these new home owners will choose. One or both people in the home may have lost their job or the jobs may not be as secure as they were before the pandemic. Even with a future vaccine, people are aware that social distancing situations can occur again and they want to be prepared.
