About the Author
How to Design a Life in 500 Square Feet comes from 2021, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 24 and still producing architecture & space work with no clear path to publication. Architecture and space writing from an author who thinks carefully about how environments shape the people inside them.
