"Susanka is leading a revolutionary movement that bucks the trend of urban sprawl and the visionless building of "McMansions," by favoring quality over quantity of space...

People can reject the showy, materialistic displays of status of 'trophy homes' in favor of personalized, sustainable homes with the charm of a previous era, designed for today's lifestyles."
