Customer Reviews

Almost as good as 25 houese under 2500 sq. ft.
There were some interesting porjects but not like 25 houses under 2,500 sq. ft. Some really good detailing but also some that do not have the level of detail as the larger houses. Might be because of budget, not the house themselves.

Sample Some Modern Homes
The 25 houses are featured with photos, architectural drawings and site plans. The homes are varied to fit the sites and to match the personality of the owner.
You've heard of Tex-Mex? One house in San Diego combines Japanese and Mexican design elements, so you see, this is not just a collection of standard home plans.

A beautiful treatise on space and simplicity
I loved this book. I think that anyone who is building or remodeling can benefit from these elegant, creative, warm designs that use space, light, and location so well. In an age where everyone is madly chasing after "more, more, more," it's refreshing to see so many examples of how "less is more"---when it's done right.
