Blueprint Small: Creative Ways to Live with Less by Michelle Kodis

Small can be beautiful--and the proof is in the spectrum of thoughtfully designed, scaled-back spaces featured in these pages. From a sleek city apartment to a funky mountain home, the structures in Blueprint Small are inspiring and workable examples of functionality, artistry, and innovative techniques for enhancing even the most minimal floor plans.

Blueprint Small is an easy-to-navigate blueprint for architecturally distinct small spaces that appear far more spacious than their square footage would indicate. With spectacular color photographs, accompanied by stories about the buildings and the people behind their creation, Blueprint Small is a how-to book that points the way toward a fresh way of living and offers practical, real-life solutions for anyone interested in building or renovating a small home, office, or retreat space, whether it is 240 or 2,400 square feet.
