Clients today want to create a home that is easy to maintain, environmentally responsible, and inexpensive to operate. Own less, live more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ranging from glass cabins to copper-clad tree houses, \u003ci\u003eSmall Innovative Houses\u003c\/i\u003e features an international collection of more than fifty residences in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Discover how to use flexible space and make the most of a narrow lot, how to use every square foot of living space, while also responding to rising ecological concerns and skyrocketing energy bills. Examples include a mountain barn converted into a modern vacation home in Switzerland; a mobile home built on a flatbed trailer chassis that can be transported on U.S. highways; a Japanese sunken house with movable partitions that creates as many as nine rooms; a summer cabin in Norway that appears to float above the ground; and a spectacular glass cabin in the wilds of Alberta, Canada. From world-famous architects (Steven Holl, Todd Saunders, Snøhetta, and Tadao Ando) to the freshest new talent, this book reveals architectural invention on a whole new small scale.\"Designed to be a relaxed, comfortable read, this volume is a friend to those looking for an armchair escape or inspiration to reinvent their lifestyle.\"\u003cbr\u003e— \u003ci\u003eIdentity\u003c\/i\u003e \/ \u003ci\u003eDubai\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Jodidio\u003c\/b\u003e studied art history and economics at Harvard, and was editor in chief of the leading French art journal \u003ci\u003eConnaissance des Arts\u003c\/i\u003e for over two decades.
