Not that we don’t have plenty of space at Trinity Lofts, but Sarah Susanka’s now 10-year-old book The Not So Big House is philosophically what Trinity is all about: “a new way of thinking about what makes a place feel like home—characteristics that many people desire of their homes and their lives, but haven’t known how to verbalize”. The Not So Big House is reviewed in the most recent Forum for Urban Design semi-annual Urban Design Review. “Not So Big Remodeling” comes out in February. ”In the latest groundbreaking step in the Not So Big revolution, Sarah Susanka and Marc Vassallo demonstrate how carefully chosen tweaks and simple additions can make a home seem much larger and more inviting. They avoid high-end architectural solutions, focusing instead on how Not So Big ideas can dramatically improve even the most modest home. The authors show readers how to think like an architect, so they can accurately assess their homes shortcomings, apply Not So Big principles to their remodeling plan, and phase in their project incrementally over time.”
