I read this article today about people moving into micro sized houses in an effort to downsize their lives. It was an interesting article and I assumed mostly about saving money and living a simpler life.
Until I got to this passage.
He has purged junk and other items, donating most of it to the Salvation Army and to friends. “It does feel good,” he says. “I don’t miss the extra books, the extra clothes I never wore.” He’s married, but there’s not enough space for his spouse in his place.
It begs a lot of questions:
- He’s an architect, it’s unlikely he “accidentally” made it too small to accommodate his wife.
- Do you suppose at some point he asked her what was the minimum amount of space she would consider living in? If so, I’ll bet her answer was just slightly above the 100 sft he ended up building.
- It clearly wasn’t a money saving project as his wife is still living in their full sized home.
