The Joys of Less Space
May 30, 2009
Posted by: Carol
First, it was the joys of less stuff. Are we evolving now to the joys of less space?
There is something I love about this true story from a young Vancouver family of four living in a 950 square foot condo. Having grown up in a two bedroom house and shared a bedroom with my older brother for many years, I believe there are virtues in a home when you are forced to share time with family members. In 950 square feet, you don't have to go looking for people. It makes for good family time and a good public realm. So here's a summary of the main points and a link to the post.
Idea #1 - Families of the future valuing time more than space
Idea #2 - Two bedroom apartments or condos can accommodate a family of four (although some modifications would help)
Idea # 3 - Families will use creative strategies to avoid over-accumulation of stuff that won’t fit.
Idea #3B - The experience economy rises out of condos
