I like some of the ‘minimalist’ ideas, especially as they refer to reducing all the unnecessary JUNK that we own and hoard. But people need space to be healthy and comfortable.
True, sometimes minimalism can be taken to the extreme.
Some of the innovations, especially with spaces that have modular parts could be very useful for designers of motorhomes, RVs, boats and other vehicles where space is a premium but modern conveniences are desired.
