Plumcreek Estate – A great example of the “Not So Big” approach to residential architecture, which has been popularized by Sarah Susanka. My design way back in 1981 began with the “build better, not bigger” philosophy and evolved into a modular incremental add-on flexibility.
The idea of building a small, affordable cottage and then expanding over the years into a larger house is a very old idea, and one that was used all over America (and the world) until the past century.
