I frequently complain about our apartment, not solely because it IS an apartment, but because of the lack of space. It seemed pretty spacious when George and I moved in six (!) years ago, but with the addition of two kids and all their stuff, plus things that we acquired along the way, I must say that it’s getting a little cramped in here. Every once in awhile I have to talk myself down from a ledge – a ledge that would see me violently pitching random belongings over our fourth-floor balcony.
But tonight I was a little bored and poking around ye olde internet, and I came across a fascinating photo essay of 100 flats in Hong Kong – each of them is a one-room flat measuring a mere 100 by 100 feet. Having everything you own so close together makes me appreciate our apartment a little more. I will vow to stop complaining. At least not for a few days.
Thank you for posting this. I think every picture broke my heart and made me appreciate what I have a little more.
Wow, what an interesting slideshow. (Oh, and a type-o… it’s 100 sq. feet… so probably 10×10)
Wow, that’s insane! My apartment looks like a mansion compared to those!!
wow, those pictures were really something..I appreciate the size of my little bedroom after those.
Yikes that made me feel bad too. I was just complaining about my lack of space and its just me and my husband! We have quite a bit of space, but way too much junk. Its sad that someone has to live with what little they have in such a small space and im complaining about having too much stuff and too little room.
Color me embarrased.
Thanks for sharing this! I live in an apartment that is a little over 250 square feet. It’s exciting to see how all of those people managed their small spaces! Cool!
