Very often, small houses are not only beautiful but also functional, simply because they have been thoughtfully designed and the space is used to perfection. In the city, high land prices and small plots often lead to the planning of small residences of an individual character aimed at integrating the environment into the living environment, thanks to a small terrace or a patio for example. In the middle of nature or on the outskirts of towns, the small house brings out the natural setting as intensely as possible: Large windows, a terrace create the link with the surrounding nature and the extension of the habitat outside is done in candy. The designers of the 19 projects, from all over the world and presented in this work in more than 220 illustrations and architectural plans, constantly refer to the classic model of the Japanese house with sliding doors and built-in furniture, perfect proportions and simple but simple details. always subtle.
