Homes For Our Time. Small Houses. 45th Ed.

Small Houses is a comprehensive study of small-scale architectural innovation, a journey through homes that demonstrate how compact designs can be just as impressive as monumental ones.

These houses pay tribute to architects’ creativity and their ability to solve everyday problems with ingenuity, whilst also representing a conscious shift towards sustainability, reduced environmental impact and a change in lifestyle. In a context marked by climate change, population growth and resource scarcity, these solutions help us imagine how we will live in the future.

The book brings together projects located in very different settings, from the dense urban areas of Tokyo to the wilds of Australia, the forests of Canada or a rooftop in Ecuador.

The only thing they have in common is their floor area, which does not exceed 100 m². Through homes designed by 57 architects across 25 countries, the volume presents examples such as Takeshi Hosaka’s Casa Love2, Aranza de Ariño’s Casa Tiny, and works by Jakub Szczęsny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG and Fran Silvestre. A journey through the latest in architectural creativity, and an invitation to imagine a more sustainable world.

Key features:

  • Cover: Hardback.
  • Pages: 488.
  • Language: German, French, English.
