The average American house size has more than doubled since the 1950s: it now stands at 2,349 square feet.  But along with our growing awareness of the need to live sustainably, and in harmony with our environment, has come a new movement.  The author of Not So Big Remodeling, Sarah Susanka is leading this movement to "build better, not bigger."

In this excellent book, Ms Susanka reveals that with small, thoughtful changes, the home you live in can be the home you love.  Susanka, along with co-author Marc Vassallo, challenges conventional remodeling wisdom by offering solutions beyond mere square footage. Instead of thinking "bigger" with a vast addition, Susanka encourages us to think "better," revealing a more sustainable process that evaluates existing space to determine your true remodeling needs.

Susanka is a member of the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council.
