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.

It is by no means extravagant. In fact the space is still small and rather simple. But they have used the element of light and an open plan to brighten this little house into a very comfortable space. It is a testament to what can be done with a little vision and a lot of personal hard work. This is not a new project, the renovations started in 2001. But I encourage you to read more about the building process and materials and all the struggles they went through.
