Tiny Home

After reading the New York Times article on the newly developing micro NYC, I feel like the article was trying extremely hard to glamorize the lifestyle of living in a tiny space. I honestly could not picture myself living in such a small area with barely any room. I would get so frustrated with everything being so close together and literally having such a compact space! I was impressed however by the picture they showed in the article of the girls' 313 square feet apartment. It looked up to date and very modern, and actually a lot bigger than I expected. One thing I would like about living in such a small space is that everything in that apartment would be mine and I wouldn't have to share a space with anyone but myself. Living with roommates can be so frustrating sometimes, especially when you are polar opposites of each other. Although it is a tiny space, everything in that apartment can be "designed" how I want it to be and I wouldn't have to deal with the worries that come with living with someone else. The downfall of having such a small place is that it would not be a good place for friends or family to gather. I love having my friends over and I would lose that when living in a crowded area. I would also be worried about feeling claustrophobic; as they mentioned in the article, the architects came up with ways to fix that issue such as having big windows or a balcony. I think the room would still give off the same effect though. If I had the choice though, I would definitely not live in an apartment that is under 400 square feet; I need my own space!
