I have to admit to a little bit of web-surfing on the job but it was worth it because I found this little gold nugget while searching for information on Universal Design. Dirk Dieter's house is tiny, I mean, put in your pocket tiny. However, to paraphrase Jay Shafer, whom we have written about before, a home doesn't need to be large in order to feel spacious if it is well designed. This home, at 250 square feet (not including the 224 square foot added on garage) uses nearly 10 times less the footprint than the average sized family home. Dieter also designs space conscious furniture inspired by living in a small space.
