Tips, firsthand accounts, and explanatory diagrams for daily living in a minimalist, sustainable, and more cost-effective fashion.

What draws us to smaller living spaces when we're used to comfort being synonymous with abundance and vast quarters? Living small has its challenges, but it's far more attractive than it might seem at first glance. It's all about reinventing a simpler, freer, more financially friendly lifestyle. This book is for everyone ready to break with the notion of "bigness" and rethink their relationship to their living space in terms of their needs and habits. Authors Chabot and Martins provide useful avenues of thought when it comes to building a small-footprint house like a tiny house, but also for modifying spaces in an existing house or apartment.
