Downsize

Community-created list

You'll like these because...

The small houses—all 2,000 square feet or less—presented in Downsize are all owned by people who have made a conscious decision to downsize from a larger home to a smaller home—or who just decided to build small in the first place. Some of the houses are new (site-built or prefab), others are remodels. We've also included books on how to design for smalle spaces.
