Sarah Susanka
Architect & Author, Raleigh, NC
Sarah Susanka has emerged as a leader of a movement that is redefining the American home. Today her “build better, not bigger” approach to residential architecture has been embraced by homeowners, architects and builders across the country and her “Not So Big philosophy” is part of an international dialogue.
She has shared her insights on big ideas for small spaces with The Oprah Winfrey Show, USA Today, Boston Globe Magazine and Charlie Rose. In February 2001, Fast Company named her to their debut list of “Fast 50” innovators whose achievements have helped to change society.
Susanka has earned similar accolades for her books. The Not So Big House (Taunton Press, 1998) spent two years among the top five best-sellers on Amazon.com’s Home and Garden list. Creating the Not So Big House was ranked among the top 15 books in the New York Times “Advice & How To” best-seller list.
Susanka is a registered architect, a member of the American Institute of Architects and is a certified interior designer. For more information about Susanka and her work, visit www.notsobighouse.com, www.notsobigshowhouse.com, and www.susanka.com
