Hi Claire.
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your article about designing for, and living in a small space.
I live in a “shoebox” apartment in San Francisco, about 400 sf, but I fantasize about moving to a remote or “unusual” space and living in a very small home. Maybe even in a motorhome.
But your ideas certainly apply to both urban and backwoods environments. I look forward to exploring the links at the BHM website.
I wanted to add something to the rack-mounted computers you mentioned:
When I had a “desktop” computer, I bought a strap device to hang it from under my desk.
The straps are $18 on Amazon for a basic type, to $40 for the kind I had — it allowed the computer to be slid forward, and spun around to access cables in the back. But I agree with you that a good laptop makes more sense these days.
Thanks again for the interesting article,
Jim Lee
