27 Small Living Spaces

From 21 Square Foot Homes to Alleyway Architecture

— August 15, 2010 — Art & Design
The designers behind these small living spaces must be trying to prove that bigger is not necessarily better. Usually the term "small living spaces" conjures up visions of cramped apartments, but these tiny homes are well designed inside and out. Just how tiny yet functional some of these pads are is just incredible. I've seen doll houses bigger than some of these places. From 21 square foot homes to alleyway architecture, check them out.
