Review
"David Holowka's excellent primer, How to Design a Small House, plugs into ideas as old as the impulse toward the Primitive Hut and as current as clutter-phobe Marie Kondo. Small House, which contains not only invaluable commentary but also four elegant sample designs, addresses the fundamental psychological problem of the house: how to resolve our need for shelter with the contradictory human desire for space—to be outside in nature. In other words, how to recreate an evolutionary place where we still feel most at home." —Alex Beam, author of Broken Glass: Mies van der Rohe, Edith Farnsworth, and the Fight Over a Modernist Masterpiece
"I admire How to Design a Small House for avoiding the usual escapist fantasy of a cabin in the wilderness and encouraging a more sustainable, practical, and achievable home that would fit on a small lot in a walkable (and, of course, bikeable) community—a house that maximizes openness to nature and the outdoors while maintaining privacy from nearby neighbors. This kind of escape, from the banal suburban world of car culture which 'steamrolls the magic, mystery, and romance out of life,' is just one compelling reason the book offers to build a small house. For all its practical content, this is at heart a guide to designing a home that preserves a sense of wonder." —Steven Fleming, architect, author of Cycle Space and Velotopia
