Abstract
The Small Homes Council study in house planning had two major objectives: To help the homeowner get the most for his money by eliminating waste - waste space in the house, waste in the use of materials, waste in the use of labor; To make it possible for the homeowner to build a house which fits the needs of his family and the requirements of his site- a house which is not like, and does not look like, his next-door neighbors'.
