Creating the Not So Big House,

Creating the Not So Big House, architect Sarah Susanka’s sequel to her 1998 best seller The Not So Big House, includes a profile of a home in Habersham, a TND in Beaufort, South Carolina. Designer Eric Moser’s floor plan breaks the traditional formality, makes the kitchen the center of the home, and removes many of the walls between rooms. “When a space can be seen, it is used,” Susanka writes. “When it can’t be seen it sits dormant.” She also highlights the floor plan’s adaptability by showing how it has been used in homes with very different facades.
