Hotel-room sized homes ‘ideal for millennials’

Centrally located "hotel-room sized" studio flats are ideal for busy millennials, a leading architect has said. In a paper published by the Adam Smith Institute, Patrik Schumacher, a senior designer at Zaha Hadid Architects, argues that the minimum size of 38 square metres on newbuild flats is "paternalistic" and stops poorer young people from getting on the housing ladder. "Lifting this prohibition would allow a whole new (lower) income group, which is now excluded, to enter the market. This move would both boost overall unit numbers and affordability," he believes.
