When young people begin to live independently， home-hunting can be difficult． But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes．
Fondly called \houses，\these houses have all living necessities in a small package， including kitchen， bedroom and bathroom． Generally under 50 square meters， most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some claim the space for more． What's lost in size is not lost in designas these homes are often quite modern in design．
Besides an attractive appearance， tiny houses can also have practical features． Making the best of urban space， the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw， the world's narrowest home， filled in an alley（小巷） The home ．Ecocapsule uses solar power， wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere．
Although micro-homes are attractive， there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch． Moving into a tiny house， you should throw away unnecessary things． It is also mostly impossible to invite guests． And finally， a micro-home is likely a temporary（暂时的） living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things．
