The Compact House Book (33 Prize Winning Designs, 1000 Square Feet or Less)

The Compact House Book is the fruit of a brainstorming session by a group of editors and architects who wanted to discover a way to help people find affordable housing. Reissued by popular demand, this book proves that houses with 1,000 square feet or less of floor space can be imaginative, comfortable places to live. Originally published in 1983 to present the 33 winners of the Garden Way Compact Home Design Competition. The book includes homes suitable for suburban and rural areas; for Canada and all regions of the United States; for conventional lots and more unusual lakefront and mountaintop sites.
