The Small House Book (20 page)

BODEGA

The Bodega has a fireplace, a full

bath and kitchen and a washer/

dryer beneath the counter. I don’t

count the loft as square footage in

this house because, with so much

sloped ceiling, it doesn’t officially

qualify as a habitable room. That

said, with seven feet of ceiling

height over more than 70 square

feet, this heated loft provides a lot

of usable space.

HARBINGER

The Harbinger is the Dutch hip

version of the Bodega described

on page 168. In this case, a bump-

out provides enough space for an

additional bedroom or sitting room

downstairs. If one were to count

the loft, this house would actually

measure almost 600 square feet,

Square feet: 297

or 700, with the add-on.

NEW VESICA

The New Vesica is essentally the

Bodega turned sideways. The

New Vesica is officially 278 square

feet, but, if the loft were included,

it would measure in at just over

450 square feet.
