Could you live in 225 square foot home? I’m not sure I could live in a house half the size of my living room. This video shows the building of such just across the way.

So often when it is decided to expand or modernize a building, in my mind, it can be a fiasco: but not in this case I think! The NAC being a child of the 60s is at that age where respect of its design can be tentative (old enough to be dated but not old enough to have really acquired heritage status).
