Koones’s (Downsize: Living Large in a Small House) previous books encourage the shift from larger homes to more sustainable, ecologically responsible homes. A three-time recipient of the prestigious Gold Award in the Robert Bruss Real Estate Book Award, the author expands on why prefabricated homes are a solution to the housing and labor shortages and how it impacts the environment. This book includes 24 prefab homes with images of the layout, blueprints, and a listing of green and energy-efficient features. Readers will enjoy breathtaking images of the interior design of the homes, the unique features that the homeowners included to make their space work for them, and advice for homeowners who may choose a similar prefab style. A comprehensive list of suppliers is provided so that readers can build their own prefab home.
VERDICT A wonderfully curated design book for fans of Koones or readers looking to downsize.
