Not So Big Showhouse 2011 Design Features
Videos
Part 1 of 4: ENTERING THE HOME
Sarah welcomes the viewer inside the Not So Big
Showhouse, and demonstrates how she has used the principles of "Light to Walk
Toward" and "Ceiling Height Variety" to define spaces without the use of
walls.
Part 2 of 4: LIVING AREA AND KITCHEN
Sarah describes the application of a number of Not
So Big design principles within the main level of the Not So Big Showhouse.
"Wall Thickness" provides personality for a windowless wall. A "Point of
Focus" gives the kitchen a center. "Differentiation of Parts" is accomplished
through trim bands, soffits, color and lighting. And a "Theme and Variations"
is repeated pattern that ties the house together visually.
Part 3 of 4: AWAY ROOM AND DOWNSTAIRS BATH
In the Not So Big Showhouse several rooms do
"Double Duty"—a key strategy for reducing the square footage of a home.
Sarah demonstrates how this strategy is applied in three spaces: the Away Room,
the Main Level Bath, and the Laundry Room. Since the house sits on a narrow
lot that will eventually include adjacent homes, Sarah also shows how natural
light is brought into the center of the home in a unique way.
Part 4 of 4: UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS AND BATHS
Sarah demonstrates the use of several Not So
Big design principles on the second floor, such as "Visual Weight," "Making
Less feel like More," "Ceiling Height Variety," and "Window Seats," to create
spaces that are intimate yet practical, and proportioned for the way we really
live.
