180 sq ft micro apartments sold like hot cakes.
Do you know that a car park lot in Singapore must be at least 124 sq ft in area?
That is the rule by LTA.
Do you know how big is the smallest flat in Hong Kong?
According to an article in The Sunday Times, it is 61.4 sq ft!
That is smaller than the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in!
There are more and more homes which are less than 200 sq ft in size being built in Hong Kong and they cost about HK$4 million or S$725,000 each.
Now, for those who wonder how I could stay comfortably in an apartment that is a bit bigger than 400 sq ft in size, what about one that is smaller than 200 sq ft in size?
200 sq ft is probably the size of a decent hotel room with a bath.
I feel that it is good enough for a short stay of maybe a few days but to stay for a longer period, it could be difficult for me.
I actually stayed in a junior suite before because I got a good deal.
Similar in size to my current place but missing an outdoor space, it was very comfortable.
See the photos: HERE.
I feel that my apartment gives me just the right amount of space for living comfortably long term.
A kitchenette, a living cum work space, a bedroom, a wardrobe, a bathroom and a small outdoor space.
Everything I need in the smallest apartment I ever stayed in.
With only 200 sq ft, I think I would be left with just the bedroom and the bathroom.
I would have to eat out all the time and I would probably want to go out a lot more because there is no outdoor space.
Hmmm, OK, I guess these nano apartments (yes, they are even smaller than shoebox apartments) could work for people who don't cook and who spend very little time at home.
When are we going to see some nano apartments in Singapore, I wonder?
