Tiny Homes - Simple Shelter by Lloyd Kahn has been in the works for some time and my copy finally arrived this week.
Lots of photos of homes under 500 square feet. While not practical for many, it does give ideas for living with less space. Having something small enough to not worry about much (or any) of a mortgage may be liberating for many people as homes may not be the best investment in the world any more. Lots of possibilites for guest and vacation homes too...
There are some more unconventional living spaces - tree houses, boats, and a variety of homes on wheels (campers, vans and buses)...
It would be a very interesting project to work through with an architect.
recommended!
And to spur a bit of thinking sometimes it is useful to explore the slightly (or even seriously) impractical. Salon has an interview with Derek Diedricksen on his new book on microhomes. His blog looks entertaining.
