This kind of thing is akin to the housing concepts of pre—I don't know—16th or 17th century living, in the West at least. A serf's cottage was only bigger because they needed to have a firepit inside, as well as a stable.
The size of my place (715 sq. ft.) is luxuriously roomy in the pre-1950's mindset. Well, at least as far as city living goes.
