Bad Idea: Living in the Smallest House in the World

It’s 100 square feet. To put that into perspective, that’s roughly the size of a single-car garage. But this man is a very happy home owner, and as he’ll have you believe, it’s the way you should be living, too.

You wouldn’t believe this, but it even has a fireplace. It’s tiny, with tiny flames and tiny heat, but hey, it’s a tiny house.The living room magically becomes the living room the moment he pulls out a folding table.  It’s tiny, but he claims that with tiny plates, he can sit more than one.

His kitchen it quite cute. It’s got a little sink, and a tiny stove. Where does he keep the fridge, you ask? Underneath the sink he opens a compartment where a tiny fridge and a tiny oven hide. The fridge doesn’t seem to be able to hold a six-pack of beers, so I don’t know how this guy can live happily.

He’s particularly happy about his bathroom. It’s kind of a good idea. It’s a bathroom that becomes the shower. When he needs to clean up, he slides a couple of plastic doors around him and it becomes a contained space. The showerhead is above the bathroom, kind of where you’d find the light at your own bathroom.

Surprise, this house is two stories! The top floor houses his bedroom. It’s got nice ventilation, believe it or not. He’s got a big bed, too, which he claims, with a rather mischievous face, that it accommodates two.

Why would anybody live in such a tiny house? Well, he says, if you don’t like vacuuming, it’s the only way to live. Pfff…
