"Tiny house" AKA a normal house in the rest of the world.
- alistairSH 8y agoIs that really true? Most of the trendy tiny homes are 200-300sqft with a loft bedroom. My townhouse is modest by US standards at 1500sqft and 3 bedrooms. I believe this was about average in the early-70s (when the home was constructed). The average new home in the US is now about 2600sqft and 4-5 bedrooms.
- rb808 8y agoOK UK is perhaps smaller than average but: > The average house dimensions in UK is 91 sq m. which is a bit under 1000 sq ft. http://www.dimensionsinfo.com/average-house-dimensions-in-uk/ http://www.dimensionsinfo.com/average-house-dimensions-in-uk... > The average UK one-bedroom home is 46 sq m (495 sq ft), https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22152622 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22152622
- baybal2 8y ago"Most of the world" is almost about half living in apartment buildings, not detached houses.
- jlokier 8y agoIn the UK. The flat I live in is the _largest_ place I've lived in 28 years. Lived in quite a few different places, maybe 15. It's a two bedroom flat. Total floor area 36sqm, aka. 390sqft. It's not a "tinyhouse". It's a typical rented flat, about average for the area. I would love a larger place. I dream of storage, of a workshop room. But when I see people reporting US sizes, it's hard to even imagine that much floor area. To think, my biggest place is the same size as a specially-named "tiny house" in the US!
- alistairSH 8y agoWhat's the floor plan like? My son is in a 500sqft 1-bed apartment in DC and I can't picture how you'd fit a 2nd bedroom into a smaller unit.
