Making the most of Small Spaces

This was the first book Crafti wrote on Small Spaces. He felt that as cities became more populated and the number of single and couple household increased, the size of living spaces was decreasing. Apartment Living isn't a new phenomenon in Europe. However, in Australia, the quarter acre block was previously the norm. This includes apartments, cottages, warehouses and simply small houses.

H20 Architecture

This book looks at the relationship of architecture to water, whether it takes the form of a rock pool by the front entrance or the lap pool along the side of the house. The traditional swimming pool in the rear garden has been replaced with smaller and less manageable bodies of water for often time–poor owners.
