We live in a much smaller space than we would have if we were living in the United States. Most of the homes here are much smaller and as a result, you learn to be efficient with space and just a little creative. I just read an article from the New York Times about a house in Rotterdam that has been beautifully and creatively adapted to suit a growing family. They built up and put bedrooms on the roof. The results are gorgeous, striking, and terribly innovative. Enjoy!
Great article...fantastic vision. The only drawback is the blue, blue, blue.
