Living small: A micro-home is where the heart is

The Footprint Delridge development offers three-storey units with 16 sleeping rooms. While some neighbourhoods have fought such projects, likening them to tenements from the early 1900s, people are snapping up these small spaces.

Could you live in less than 200 square feet? More and more people are choosing the affordability and convenience of micro-housing over large living spaces.

THE smell of garlic rises from the frying pan as two women in pyjama pants and slippers sauté shrimp and noodles on a range top in a shared kitchen just inside the main entrance to the apartment building.
