Smaller, Simpler, Smarter: Homes and Plans by Daryl S. Rantis, Architect

by Jennifer M. Fulford and Daryl Rantis

Smaller designs. Simpler details. Smarter life. The efficient home designs of the late Daryl S. Rantis, Architect, are featured in this 80-page planbook and demonstrate bigger is not always better. The homes reflect a Greene and Greene aesthetic with timber frames, pitched roofs and native stone. Each small home is accompanied by a floorplan. Sections of the book include full-size "treehouses," single-family homes, cottages and cabins, custom homes, special places and a section on urban design. Gary J. Coates, author of the renowned "Resettling America," writes the book's foreward.
