A 217sf apartment in Tokyo. Every piece of it was laid out perfectly. I had a bedroom, living room, full kitchen, full bathroom, and even a laundry area with a washing machine. Back in North America, we take space for granted and hence tend to waste it.

All I’m saying is that I live in a 750sf apartment now and it’s too BIG.

We live in a 540sf shipping container conversion. Started as just the two of us, but now we are welcoming a baby and have no plans to upsize.

400sf—my husband and I remodeled my family’s horse stall and tack room into a living space.

In Paris, in my "two-step apartment." Two steps from the door to the bed, then two steps from the bed to either the kitchenette or bath.

A well-designed, not-quite 200sf studio. Huge by Hong Kong standards. And my neighbors lived in the same footprint with their two adult children. Puts things in perspective!

A 100sf converted short school bus!

I lived for two years in a 32sf teardrop camper I built! Maine to Colorado to California and back... twice!!

The cabin of a 28-foot sailboat, anchored at a marina in Longboat Key, Florida. When I graduated from college without a clear plan, it was either that or my parents’. Wiping down the ceiling to keep mold at bay was worth it for the independence.

A 20-foot-diameter traditional Mongolian yurt. Coziest year and a half of my life.

A VW bus in Hawaii in the ’80s! I didn’t even know I was a tiny house pioneer!
Reuben Viles on Facebook:
A womb. Lived there nine months before being evicted, on my birthday no less.
