Katie Hutchison

Not long after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, architect Katie Hutchison began to focus on the design of residential spaces. Since then, she has found herself drawn to the challenges and rewards of designing smaller houses that live comfortably and have a positive impact on their neighborhoods and the environment. She is the author of the forthcoming book The New Small House (The Taunton Press).
