Much of what is built today is on such a large scale that the human element is almost totally lost. Smaller spaces can not only be cozy, but also beautiful, practical and fun to live in.
How much space do you really need to live well? How much of what you have actually enriches your life and how much of it just ties you down and requires dusting?
I hope this blog to be a travelogue, if you will, of things and ideas that inspire me to reexamine the way I think about living small and living well.

The Bridge House, designed by Australian architect Max Pritchard is located in Adelaide, about 400 miles northwest of Melbourne on the Australian coast. The structural steel frame for this building was fabricated off site and then put together by two men and a crane in just two days. The steel tresses rest on four concrete peers, two on either side of a creek that runs beneath the house. That is basically the only contact the house has with the ground and gives the inhabitants a feeling of being up in the trees when looking out either side of this long, narrow structure.
