Future sustainable homes need to be functional, comfortable to live in, affordable, address new lifestyle trends, and as energy efficient as possible in their construction and operation. Choosing a dwelling type is one of the fundamental building blocks of any residential design process. What to build will depend on need assessment or the initiator’s familiarity with the site and the clients. In addition to cost considerations, zoning bylaws, demographic make-up, and neighborhood norms will influence the chosen prototype. While this appears as a tall order for designers, builders, and homebuyers, it offers opportunity to be creative and address issues that in the past were considered marginal. This chapter offers a path to the conception of such homes’ interiors by looking at a broader design process. The chapter will investigate design of small spaces including zoning, access, circulation, and spatial configuration. Finally, flexible design, space-making strategies, and finishings will be explored.
