[galeria-abril id="77099" type="slider" showtitle="false" data-restrict="false"] New developments in cities like São Paulo and Curitiba have started to offer properties of previously unimaginable sizes, following a global trend. Some are less than 10 m². To give you an idea, this is the size of many people's bedrooms, including bathroom, kitchen and all the functions of a complete house.

What is the smallest size your house could be?

It seems impossible to live well in such a small space, but this reality invites us to exercise our imagination: how much space do we really need? It's interesting to see in Tiny House Nation how some residents try to fit their entire lifestyle into a few square meters and are confronted with reality. They want to live in modern tiny houses, but at the same time they didn't think they would have to give up books, household utensils, musical instruments, giant sofas and several spaces.

In tune with minimalism

Micro-houses speak directly to the minimalist movement, which has already inspired many designers and architects. Together, they shed light on the desire and need for a lean, practical, more nomadic lifestyle that is allied with technology. Why have a huge kitchen if many people spend their days away from home? Why have a library if books are electronic? Do you need all the objects you have today? It's worth thinking about whether what you have really brings you joy, to quote the famous organization guru Marie Kondo. Of course, living in a small space isn't for everyone. But the topic makes us reflect on the new times and the priorities of each of us. To inspire this conversation, we selected these micro-apartments with several solutions that make the most of every square centimeter. Plenty of practicality, without ever losing beauty.
