Thread: Woman Happily Lives In 90 Sq Ft Manhattan Apartment

  1. #31
    Now this lady is an architect and was very clever in making use of vertical space in her Paris apartment. She created an elevated kitchen in what was basically a 12 x 10 ft bedroom:

    ^ Another great use of every available inch of space - Saw some storage in the cubbies and drawers, but no closet...

    Oh Dear, Whatever would I do with my purses, shoes and boots?

    The thing that I like about these micro spaces is that it forces a more austere lifestyle. You can't accumulate a lot of stuff if you have no place to put it! (RIP George Carlin!) I would think it would also encourage you to get out and "live" rather than be holed up in your apartment all the time. I could be comfortable in the apartment in the above video. It was much better thought out. The first one looked like a storage closet to me. It stressed me out just watching the video.

    She said something along those lines toward the end of the video, something about, "In Paris everyone really lives outside, and they don't really need to have many people coming to their home" (6:35)

    I think she said "meets outside"

    I dunno it's hard to understand that part of the video. Same thing though...people are outside, not inside as much as people in other countries/cities are.

    That's actually quite cute! - As long it has several closets, I could live there.

    She lives in a modified car:

    I've never been camping but I have done without electricity for as many as 5 days in a row. We have one water system in our mh park. If they have to turn off water for some reason, we all do without. If the water trickles a bit we can fill up the bath tub for flushing.

    I suppose I could live like the lady in the car if I had to, although the potty set up would be way less than ideal!
