For me personally, as an architect, designing small homes suggests new directions in the relationship between people and the environment, and, on a wider scale, the future of the home. In many Western countries, nature and the manmade object are treated as opposing forces; nature is viewed as a harsh, overpowering entity to be fought... The small house is, in a sense, an experimental laboratory that permits us to pursue the creation of a complementary relationship with our surroundings.
