Some interesting houses & good photos but was overall a frustrating book as there was little actual information about the houses & the floor plans were usually overlaid with photos so you couldn't figure out for yourself the configuration of the plan (they did have the floor plans without the photos in the index but they were tiny & worthless). Not particularly inspirational for ideas to incorporate in other houses as most of the interesting ideas appeared to be largely site-specific.

Small is big and better
