People now see spaces like hobby rooms or ‘man-caves’ as integral to their home life, and buy or build houses with this in mind.

For a more sustainable future, we need to embrace living in smaller spaces. This means not letting our houses be our primary space for every activity in our lives

Smaller, well insulated, medium density housing. Alas nothing like the current dystopian sprawl of Australian cities.

    I feel like the use of space in our house is poorly done. There are three living spaces that it’s hard to find something to do with, tiny bedrooms that could have just taken up one living space, a small kitchen, and nowhere to put anything. I feel like my parents’ house is a much better use of space than where I am

      Definitely, it’s like they’re trying to cram “must have” rooms and decorative shite in and you end up with less usable space than a postwar three bedroom.

      Two loungerooms! A dining room! Al fresco! Yeah great except now we’ve had to convert the fucking garage for some room and park on the street.
