About the Author

Sarah Susanka is a renowned architect and author celebrated for her innovative approach to residential design that prioritizes the creation of soul-nourishing homes. With a background in architecture from the University of Minnesota, she has spent over two decades advocating for the 'not-so-big house' philosophy, which emphasizes quality over quantity in living spaces. Susanka's work challenges conventional notions of homebuilding by integrating personal narrative, emotional well-being, and sustainable practices into architectural principles. Her influential book, Home by Design: Transforming Your House into Home, guides homeowners in reimagining their spaces to better reflect their lifestyles and aspirations. Through lectures, workshops, and her writings, Susanka continues to inspire a movement toward more meaningful and intimate domestic environments.
