Small houses can be beautiful too as you can see from the design here in the picture of the interior of a small house in Finland
Author/architect Esa Piironen has written a book called "Small Houses in Finland" and this picture is from that book. Finland has a climate similar to Canadian climates and to conserve energy architects there design very stylish houses

we subtracted (from our house) the patio and the garage because they do not need to be heated. our sqaure footage of heating space is now 4,384 sq. ft. this is still alot and we think that transferring SIMS ft. into real life ft. is having a few problems, even though it looks believable.

We had another miscalulation and our house actually is 1176 square feet. this is with out the patio and the garage which we arent heating so there is not point in inculding it in the calculation
