added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to 10 Small Structures That Whisper of Wonder
A small home doesn't have to live small. Big features, like oversize doors, extend the space of the home to the size of the great outdoors.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to High Style for Real Life
Create a foreground. There are times when we want to be the audience rather than on the stage. Look for ways to create a vantage point from which to watch the world pass by.

I would like to see this in Tucson or in the Santa Fe area. And the idea of going small (carrying out Susanka's Creating the Not So Big House) is the way to go baby boomer (and other) home builders/restorers.
