Or how to free yourself from square metres!

Living in a small (or smaller) space is a state of mind (but not only that…). While micro-spaces are too often associated with restriction, reduction and frustration, when approached with the right philosophy, they can be a wonderful spatial, technical and aesthetic exercise in creating a charming and soothing environment. Whether you live in an apartment, a studio, a house or a cabin, whether you own or rent, there are always solutions for creating a unique, original and fulfilling environment.

This book not only offers practical tips and easy-to-apply sources of inspiration, it also helps us refocus on what is essential and understand what is important to us and our unique lifestyle. Making the most of the space available and choosing the elements that compose it without being overwhelmed by the unnecessary or the incidental is not a goal to be achieved, but a resource from which to draw creativity. Thinking big and living small means redefining your priorities, putting your needs at the centre of your design, and bringing your ideas to life in a way that is tailored to your budget, your aesthetic, the technical constraints of your living space, and above all, how you will use it. Because feeling good at home is not about square footage, Brigitte Noelle Legendre shares her top architectural tips for living well in a small space!
