Narrow Houses: New Directions in Efficient Design

This is one of the best books on narrow footprint houses. Page after page of some of the most interesting examples of narrow footprint houses that are not row, or town houses. There are plenty of photos and floor plans to see. A great source for examples of houses for narrow lots, or tiny sites.

nice book for downsizing your living quarters.

more than a practical guide on design for the narrow house, the examples include innovative solutions from iconic architects like ban or ando. i did not expect the terrific exposition and design guide/essay of 40 some pages in the back. thorough and thought provoking, the materials can launch a designer towards better solutions.

I'm gonna build a house on a narrow lot and this book helped my architect to understand my needs. It's possible to build something modern, spacious and beautiful!

a little more architectural than what I was looking for, but nice

I liked it a lot.+ design of the book+ plans+ interesting examples

Quite impressed with the quality of photos, crisp and detailed showing exterior detailing and into the houses too.Floor plans are clean too and the line work is consistent throughout the book. (A lot of books like this take the designer's own submitted plans, sections and elevations and put them in the books leading to fuzzy, saturated and poor image quality - not here though)

This book is ok but not detailed enough. Not enough plans, technical data. More like a presentation that building narrow houses is possible but not to explicit.

Not as good as expected there was only 1 or 2 really narrow homes

Superb Book, good drawings and loads of theory.

Great book, great photographs.It is one for the library. good work.I like the format, and the way the book is made.

LOVE the book!
