check the previously started Small projects thread

Not all of the projects on that thread are houses, but many/most are..

Thanks! Should have thought about a search.


That's what I get for trying to find things on my iphone.

The other thread for small architecture is great, but many aren't homes. Anyone have any suggestions for small residences?

This is one of my all time favs:

Technically a guest house, but close enough!

If you're looking for books, the following are good resources:

Compact Houses

Small City Houses

25 Houses Under 1500 Square Feet

Of these, I'd say the first one (Compact Houses) is my favorite. They are mostly eye candy (i.e. not a lot of drawings outside of a floor plan or two....) but are good for inspiration.

I almost posted this one in the small projects thread but didn't want to be the third poster in a row there with no one else. Plus, this is more specifically a small home not a small project.

i'm not sure whether that home is more depressing or its context :o/

Currently doing a 1,500 sf house on a 12' wide lot, and in my research came across this book: http://www.amazon.ca/Narrow-Houses-Directions-Efficient-Design/dp/1568988737

Not all tiny homes, but by virtue of their small width, most are. I've found that most small and/or narrow (modern) house are found in Japan.
