This compilation of projects from around the world pays special attention to the particular features of each space. While none of the apartments exceeds 800 square feet, all are homes, and the design strategies are very similar - in each case, the end result is determined by the pre-existing features. The property's city location, the building's architectural characteristics, its structure, and the lighting and ventilation conditions are points of departure. They become fundamental tools for understanding how architects, designers, or owners of small apartments approach a project with minimal living space.
