In big cities like Tokyo, land and space are hard to come by and are extremely expensive. This means that owning a house in Tokyo is extremely costly. This is where the micro-housing concept comes in, with more and more architects designing micro homes that fit into incredibly small spaces.
These homes have amazing interiors that maximize the usage of space, often not more than 3-4 feet wide. They include living spaces that can double up, and built in features that can be converted from one function to another.
Here are some of these amazing architectural feats:
