"Azby Brown has done it again. I loved his first book Small Spaces: this one goes further yet in helping to demystify the art of the small house. The book is a must for anyone wanting to understand how to do more with less when it comes to home design. These tiny and exquisitely designed contemporary Japanese homes have so many lessons to teach readers around the world about how to make their homes both functional and beautiful, whatever the size. I, for one, could not put the book down, and I suspect it will have the same effect on a great many readers." - Sarah Susanka, architect & author of The Not So Big House series, and Home By Design"
