This year’s Build Small Live Large Summit focuses on what communities across North America are doing to create more livable cities full of smaller, more diverse, and affordable homes.
Five hundred designers, builders, planners, realtors, students and homeowners gathered in early November to learn how powerful and important it is to build small. The day was packed with people looking for new ideas for homes that match the needs of our current population: homes that can be flexible as families grow and change, homes that allow new ways to live together in communities of all sizes, and homes that are safe, legal and affordable. Here's how to keep that momentum going.
“I don’t know of anybody who wants to feel like they’re living a spartan life. You want to participate in your life and you don’t want where you live to be a place that limits that,” Dee Williams told About Face Magazine.

Here are some small home designs we've been enjoying lately.
