Excerpt from The Small House Its Architecture and Surroundings In writing the following pages, every endeavour has been made to adhere to two conditions. First, that the book was to be for those who wished to build for themselves; not for their architects, nor for speculators. In fact, it was to be a guide for the client to the line of thought generally adopted by the architectural profession on the subject of building a home. Secondly, that only a single class of house was to be discussed - namely, one designed for gentlefolk and their servants, but not costing more than about £1000. It has ever been the case since the architect became a professional man, and ceased to employ his own masons, that one of his chief difficulties has been to impart to his client a proper understanding of the building he proposes to erect. Plans and elevations give a diagram of the dry bones; a perspective view may give the general outline, but neither of these will carry any conviction to the lay mind without some vision of life as it will be in the completed building, or unless each drawing and architectural conversation carries with it the scent of real bricks and mortar.

Excerpt from The Small House Its Architecture and Surroundings The result of this difficulty has been twofold. On one side it has Spread an unwholesome view of what domestic architecture means; and on the other side it has produced apathy, and eventually ignorance, on the whole subject. Under the first heading some of the worst offenders are those with distinctly artistic proclivities, for their intense aestheticism is quite beside the point when dealing with domestic architecture. They would like to crowd their homes with cosy corners and wavy lines. But then, proving themselves to be still artists, they find that ordinary furniture is impossible, and content themselves with a bench, a few stiff chairs, and a cottage table. But healthy design should invite - nay, be incomplete without - all sorts of beautiful ornaments and the most refined furniture. Our rooms must not them selves set a limit to our aesthetic dreams, but form a permanent and restful base from whence we can sally forth in mind into the mysteries of science, art, and literature. There must be no jarring note, but breadth of conception; for no mannerism, no artistic simplicity in our surroundings, no staying at home in mind or in body, can ever take the place of wider interests in life. Art is not life, but one of the best aids to living well. On the other side there is the man of a strong business disposition, who wants a house and comfort.

London's modest eighteenth-century houses - those inhabited by artisans and labourers in the unseen parts of Georgian London - can tell us much about the culture of that period. This fascinating book examines largely forgotten small houses that survive from the eighteenth century and sheds new light on both the era's urban architecture and the lives of a culturally distinctive metropolitan population. Peter Guillery discusses how and where, by and for whom the houses were built, stressing vernacular continuity and local variability. He investigates the effects of creeping industrialisation (both on house building and on the occupants), and considers the nature of speculative suburban growth. Providing rich and evocative illustrations, he compares these houses to urban domestic architecture elsewhere, as in North America, and suggests that the eighteenth-century vernacular metropolis has enduring influence.

A celebrated New York architect and designer of the city's fabled Singer Building, Ernest Flagg (1857-1947) was most famous for his skyscrapers. But Flagg was also an ardent proponent of the well-designed single-family dwelling. As this classic treatise illustrates, he devised a variety of structural economies and ingenious innovations. Filled with 526 blueprints, photographs, and other illustrations, Flagg's Small Houses embraces modular designs, the use of ridge-dormers, and saving space, materials, and costs. Flagg offers advice on every corner of the home, from the practicalities of plumbing and heating to the aesthetics of color choices and landscaping designs. Modern designers, both professional and amateur, will find this book a timeless source of advice and inspiration.
