Noteworthy attendees of the soft opening of the showhouse included MJ Seiler, Century 21 listing agent Rick Davidson, Century 21 president and CEO and Developer John Mclinden. The architect teamed up with SchoolStreet Homes to exhibit the beauty of placing a Not So Big House design within a walkable community. Susanka describes the design of her homes as valuing “quality over quantity,” and that they “emphasize comfort, beauty, and a high level of detail.” The series discusses the various ways in which homeowners can “live large” without large amounts of space. Susanka’s signature home design revolves around the idea “better, not bigger,” and is based off of her best-selling Not So Big House series – a total of nine books that have collectively sold over 1.2 million copies. A soft opening was held last Saturday, with the architect and designer herself in attendance. The grand opening for architect and designer Sarah Susanka’s “Not So Big Showhouse” will take place in Libertyville Saturday, and will be prefaced by an invite-only broker’s open tomorrow.

Her 'build better, not bigger' approach to residential architecture has been embraced across the country, and her 'Not So Big' philosophy has sparked an international dialogue, evolving beyond our houses and into how we inhabit our lives.
