## Description

Compact Living: How to Design Small Interior Space : Guerra, Michael: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A compact living design bible - I found the suggestions in this book invaluable. The author is a design engineer and sustainability consultant so a heavy 'green' thread runs through the book, but the fact that his family of five, with diverse interests, live happily and comfortably in a 1-bedroom maisonette is all you need to know to make this a must-read, whether you are choosing to down-size like me or are merely forced to live in cramped or crowded conditions. Okay, the photographic illustrations of his own home will appal minimalists and I think the Heath Robinson drawings are not entirely tongue-in-cheek. He wastes not a square centimetre of storage space, giving testament to his talent to 'think outside the box'. However these days those of us with an i-pod and Kindle won't need to store hundreds of books or LP records as does the author. I see this little book as a compact living design bible, to be referred to over and over again, and it occupies less than a centimetre on my over-the-sofa-bed shelf.
Review: Useful but not groundbreaking - Great design philosophy but was looking for more in terms of practical tips . More about the design ethos and a bit light on new solutions.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Useful but not groundbreaking
*by A***R on 10 August 2017*

Great design philosophy but was looking for more in terms of practical tips . More about the design ethos and a bit light on new solutions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little book
*by L***N on 2 January 2014*

Really thought provoking and good when things are looking bleak. I feel much more positive about my future and that of my family now
