Most people who live in an 8' x 10' space have a toilet with a sink built into it and a shiv hidden under their pillow. But architect Kumiko Inui, faced with designing apartments no larger than 82 square feet, was determined to make them as un-prisonlike as possible. Getting rid of the stairwell landings (to add precious footage) and adding floor-to-ceiling windows (to cut the claustrophobia) help the space feel more like home and less like General Population. More importantly, they keep the rest of us from complaining our apartments are too small.
