SUSANKA, SARAH CREATING THE NOT SO BIG HOUSE WITH COLOR PHOTOS AN 10 " X 10", 264 PGS | |
|
The Not So Big House created a movement that is changing the way people think about the American home. That groundbreaking book proposed a new blueprint for the American home: a house that values quality over quantity, with an emphasis on comfort and beauty, a high level of detail, and a floor plan designed for today's informal lifestyle. Creating the Not So Big House is the blueprint in action. Focusing on key design strategies such as visual weight, layering, and framed openings, Sarah Susanka takes an up-close look at 25 houses designed according to Not So Big principles. The houses are from all over North America in a rich variety of styles -- from a tiny New York apartment to a southwestern adobe, a traditional Minnesota farmhouse, and a cottage community in the Pacific Northwest. Whether new or remodeled, these one-of-a-kind homes provide all the inspiration you need to create your own Not So Big House. Fast Company has named Sarah Susanka to its list of Fast 50 innovators who have helped to change society."Sarah Susanka shows how to downsize the dream house without diminishing the dream." -- Washington Post "Sarah Susanka offers us a more hopeful strategy for sustaining human development -- just make life richer, not bigger....Improve your life and everyone else's. Use the ideas in this book -- not more square feet!" -- William McDonough, FAIA, architect, educator, and winner of the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development "In The Not So Big House, Sarah Susanka offered so much sound advice for those seeking comfort and beauty with a sense of proportion. Now, she has a new book with additional solutions to that all-important question -- how do we want to live?" -- Barbara Mayer, author of In The Arts and Crafts Style "Susanka's book, Creating the Not So Big House, shows how space can be small but beautiful and visually expansive....She has tapped into those principles that Frank Lloyd Wright used in his 'Usonian' Houses and has presented them in a very clear and beautifully illustrated format." -- Eric Lloyd Wright, architect "Detail, care, the attention only thought, love, and passion can bring. These are the hallmarks of a house that has the promise of becoming a cherished home. Susanka knows well that dough, moolah, isn't all plentiful and that big ain't even remotely better....If you're ever going to build or renovate, buy this book." -- Stephen Gordon, CEO, Restoration Hardware Price: $24.95 |

SUSANKA, SARAH THE NOT SO BIG HOUSE WITH COLOR PHOTOS AN 10 " X 10", 208 PGS | |
|
Nearly a quarter-million people bought this ground-breaking book when it was published in Fall 1998. Since then, the book?s simple message -- that quality should come before quantity -- has started a movement in home design. Homeowners now know to expect more. And the people responsible for building our homes have also gotten the message. Architects and builders around the country report clients showing up with dog-eared copies of The Not So Big House, pages marked to a favorite section. Why are we drawn more to smaller, more personal spaces than to larger, more expansive ones? At parties, why do we spend more time in the kitchen and family rooms than we do in the formal living and dining rooms? What makes the sunny, intimate breakfast nook more inviting than the vaulted spaciousness of a cathedral-ceiling great room? The Not So Big House proposes clear, workable guidelines for creating homes that serve both our spiritual needs and our material requirements, whether for a couple with no children, a family, empty nesters, or one person alone. In 1938, Life magazine commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a dream home for America. The result was the Usonian house, an enduring model of modest-sized residential architecture. Now, Sarah Susanka, architect and principal with Mulfinger, Susanka, Mahady & Partners, the firm selected to design the 1999 Life Dream House, brings Wright's same common-sense, human-scale design principles to our generation. Consider which rooms in your house you use and enjoy most, and you have a sense of the essential principles of The Not So Big House. Whether you seek comfort and calm or activity and energy at home, The Not So Big House offers a place for every mood. Fast Company has named Sarah Susanka to its list of Fast 50 innovators who have helped to change society. "The Not So Big House is a huge book....This book belongs on the desk of anyone in the business of residential design and all those serious about being involved in the design of their own home." -- Tedd Benson, author of The Timber-Frame Home Price: $22.95 |

Soap is an inexpensive and very desirable carving medium. Soon demonstrations developed into hands-on experiences for his students.In this book, Dr. Suzuki describes and illustrates with color photographs how to make safe and simple wooden carving tools. He demonstrates basic soap-carving techniques using several stepwise how-to examples, from a simple heart to a more complex turtle.
