Little Houses. Wedgwood and Bryant Neighborhoods, Seattle.



"What happens if we eliminate the formal rooms, design our everyday
living spaces for both formal and informal purposes, and use the
dollars we save to really personalize the spaces we live in every day?
It puts forth a message that it's time for a different kind of house—one
that values quality over quantity of space, is built for the long term,
and is filled with the crafted details that make a house a home."

Simply stated, Ms. Susanka proposes that we move away from
our obsession with square footage and refocus on livability.
We couldn't agree more.  Well Done Small House.

Sarah Susanka.  The Not So Big House.

Dietz always talks about loving this about Wedgwood, the small houses. I never fully realized until I started looking in other neighborhoods. She is so right. While doing my color work, I have been inside of alot of Wedgwood homes and no space is left unused. People are so creative with how they live. It is inspiring.
