i lived in a 140 square foot apartment in new york which had formerly been a single room occupancy built over 100 years ago. small tenement like housing is nothing new. small apartments slowly create cabin fever-------ANXIETY. if you live in a small space you must spend a lot more time outside of it than inside of a normal sized space. also, it is vital to have minimum 9 foot high cielings for a small space. i had 8 foot ceilings that are standard in new york. finally, a loft in a room with lower than 10 foot cielings means you cannot have a 5'10 foot person stand comfortably underneath the loft and have a 5'10 foot person on their knees in bed on top of the loft without one of them hitting their head on the underside of either the celiing or the bottom of the loft. furthermore, a loft gets very hot in the summer and remains somewhat warmer than the floor in the winter. this effect increases inversely with measure of distance between the loft surface to the cieling
