Life in a hole

London Small Flat
Apparently, the latest fashionable thing to do in London is to live in a janitor’s storeroom, all for the low, low price of £170,000 (gawd, I can buy 8,000+ bottles of Bling H2o for that kind of money). The flat measures 11ft by 7ft which is about the size of a snooker table. Doesn’t the place look depressing?

das Parkhotel
While we’re still on the topic of tiny living spaces, if you check into the das Parkhotel, you’ll be living in rooms made out of drainage pipes. I kid you not. At least you’ll have a good view of the River Danube. They kinda remind me of those capsule hotels in Japan.

Via Random Good Stuff here and here.

Next up on the real estate market: flats the size of toilet cubicles! You get to sleep standing up!

      Heh, tell me about it. I foresee people will be living in coffin-sized flats 30 years down the road. How depressing.

      This is the nicest thing I could read seeing as I just got back from putting down cash on a new house. Looks like I made the right decision. Perhaps I can rent out a closet or two?
