A CREATIVE USE OF SPACE
NOT FOR MESSY PEOPLE
TOO MANY CHORES

HOMES

ROOM FOR
JUST ONE!

42 ............
How would you feel about living in a house that was only
2.6m long by 2.6m wide by 2.6m high? Well, in Europe
some people are doing just that. Micro compact (‘m-ch’)
homes are very small homes that are no bigger than the
size of a small room!
43 ............
So how do you fit not just a sleeping and living area, but
also a study and bathing area into a space that is only
2.6m3? Well, in m-ch homes, each area has more than
one uses, because you can change the place of the
seats, beds and kitchen appliances. So, the dining area
(which is also the study area) becomes a sleeping space
by sliding the dining table into a wall. And the entrance
way doubles as a bathroom - the front door becomes the
shower door!

THE ANSWER TO A PROBLEM
PERFECT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
TINY HOUSES

44 ............
The company that makes these tiny homes says that
they designed them to solve the difficulty many
Europeans have in getting their own home. Too many
people cannot afford accommodation in Europe and
these low-cost homes are perfect for someone who
wants a place where they can live for a short time.
45 ............
The first people to try living in m-ch homes were
university students. Students love them because
although small, they are very modern with flatscreen TVs
and comfortable furniture.
46 ............
So what’s ‘micro living’ like? Well, you have to be a very
neat, tidy and organised person, because in order to do
one thing, you have to first finish another and put
everything away. Also, the lack of space means you
can’t have many personal items. But if you want a cheap,
cosy, modern space that you can call your own, a micro
home may be for you!
