Yeah 1000/1100 is in the “small but normal” territory. 800/900 is fairly small if your household has more than one person though. But well designed I could see 400-500 being pretty cozy. Tbh, with 800 sq ft I’d have like 300 living and sleeping space and the rest for my kitchen and bathroom lol. I don’t have a dream house, I have a dream shower and kitchen
I finally got, if not the dream shower, then a more reasonable version of it, and it really is awesome. That’s a worthwhile goal for sure. My only wish for a kitchen in a smaller space would be to make it open. None of that claustrophobic galley kitchen stuff that’s always in smaller apartments. I don’t love to cook, but I’d at least want somewhere I could without it being miserable.
Kudos on the shower! I envy you lol. And hard agree on the kitchen. How hard is it to design a kitchen with a reasonable amount of counter space and elbow room??? For fucks sake! I don’t need a huge kitchen either, just room for two people to comfortably work. My current kitchen is “acceptable” but barely. If the revolution doesn’t include reasonable housing built around humans instead of cramming as many people into as little space as possible for profitability I will revolt again
designed back in 1926 – the Frankfurt Kitchen – the original source of the “kitchen triangle”, modular storage, and a place to sit down while you chop veggies
I renovate apartments/condos for a living. The average single person unit here is 620-650sq ft in my experience. 800-900 is waaay above average for a single person.
We are having a child in 2 weeks and the 3 of us will live in a 650 for a year or two until we buy. It’s going to be cramped.
