[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Presuming I'm living in it for ten to twenty years? 2000 - 2500 sq ft. In all honesty, if I had the money I'd hire an architect for exactly what I want. I'd rather have a smaller home with exquisite detailing and excellent finishes. I read Susanka's book early and her theories informed my beliefs greatly.[/quote] Many of the larger custom houses in Vienna and elsewhere have rooms with the level of detail described in The Not So Big House, and without the features that she sought to discredit (soaring cathedral ceilings, "great rooms," etc.). It's just that the builders went ahead and added more rooms than could fit in a 2000 SF, on the correct assumption that many buyers don't want to give up the living room, den/library, media room, etc. Her books are pretty, just like Seaside, Florida. But there's a reason why they shot The Truman Show in such a community. [/quote]
