Miniature Houses

Let's face it, no one is making more land, but we ARE making more people. Space to build your house is becoming smaller, forcing many to take a different approach to construction and interior design. In recent years, we've seen a definite trend towards smaller scale houses, that cover less space but still, if you have a decent designer, make room for all the things you need while avoiding the impression of a cramped space.
