The washroom is fixed near the entrance area. If you'd look into the floor plans you'd see that. Quote:

If the washroom were a distinct area, I can see this working though. | |

It's been done here in BC also, but it's a lot smaller. Costs about $24k to build. www.twelve3.ca
I remember seeing this on the news earlier this year.

As someone who lives in a tiny place (not THAT small but really not that far off of it), I have a fascination with managing small spaces. There's a great blog: http://lovinglivingsmall.blogspot.co...ACE%20DWELLERS and a few others that go into how people manage micro apartments.
I know here we're used to sprawling but most of the world doesn't have the kind of free space we do.

reminds me of the 300sq/ft condo's in downtown. I dont think it would be that bad if you worked 80 hrs/week.

necessity is the mother of invention! i used to live in a japanese designed townhouse here in richmond. the usage of space was phenomenal and made it seem huge and wide-open like a house.
i think a concept like this tiny house would be ideal for single occupants or a couple. living with your mom in close quarters........ no  |

It's not that bad. Especially if it's spread over two floors. I have a 2 bdrm town house that's under 700 Sq/ft. And about 30 of those feet are wasted on my patio (which I glare at longingly wishing it was part of my living room when ever the weather sucks too much to use it), at least 100 sq/feet of it is used up by stairs and storage giving me maybe 550 sq/feet of living space. It was HARD for me at first given my prior place was over 1600 sq/ft. but you definitely learn to adjust. I boggle at some of the people in my building who have couples + multiple kids in units the size of mine but I'm sure they adjust too.
Look at some of those IKEA lay outs. They get 2 bedrooms in under 300sq feet. I could easily live in some of their demo places and they're even half the size of my tiny place.

I had a friend whos place was a couple hundred square feet bigger than mine, but even he admitted my palce felt bigger.

it's along no.3 road near francis. the location is a bit of a shame since it's a busy street and somewhat noisy. i believe the second phase is being built in the near future.
