Home, Sweet Micro-Home

A reader writes with respect to this item:

I'm an American living in a 375 square foot house in the South. Used to be a guest house made from an old outbuilding from a farm house somewhere here in town from the late 1800's. Love it. It's small and I constantly have to find places to put stuff, but I really adore it.

I used to live in one 13' x 13' room (169 square feet) off a barn with my partner and our 9 dogs, 9 cats.  We slept in a separate room that was 9' x 7' (63 square feet) for a grand total living space of 232 square feet. Loved it.

Each to his own. My Provincetown wharf condo is around 265 square feet. When I first bought it, it had three separate rooms, and almost no windows. I made it one room - with a shower nozzle in the middle pointed at a slate wall. Of course, the tininess is alleviated by a deck and a bay right before it. Round about now, I start dreaming of getting back there.
