Not So Big Showhouse to Debut in Orlando

“Builders and consumers are realizing that by reducing a home’s footprint through better design, they can put the savings into details that are high-quality, energy-efficient, and environmentally sound,” says Sarah Susanka, whose books started the Not So Big™ movement. A showhouse built according to Susanka’s principles debuts January 13–16, 2005 at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Florida. More than 100,000 visitors are expected to tour the house, built by the Bradford Building Corporation with technical oversight from building science consultant Steve Easley and green builder Ron Jones.
