I guess you didn't notice that I kept asking "Whos doing architecture for the small house"
A LOT of what a GOOD architect can do would be equally applicable to the person living in a small rundown apartment as in a McMansion, and often costs NO extra money (or VERY little), but makes the house more COST efficient to live in, and more HUMAN to live in
GOOD does NOT have to equal high cost OR large, and Large and/or High cost does not always equal good
Little things make a difference. Where do you put the lights in the kitchen? Where do you place the door in the room? Do we enclose the area under the steps, or leave it open?
All choices that cost little or no money when you build housing, but that can make a large difference in the way you live, and that can cost a fortune to change
For instance, if I'm building a room, it costs NO extra money to put the SAME door 6" to the left or right, but to CHANGE it require the whole wall to be rebuilt
So, do you think that ALL architecture is about BIG MONEY? Or can it be about good HUMAN design - In fact, I'd say that many of the big name architects are "artists" who care more about art than GOOD human design
