http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/aver...und-the-151738If you're traveling the world at all this summer, chances are you'll come across homes smaller than your average U.S. house. We found the above chart at the BBC (love its Josef Albers-esque aesthetics) and we converted to square feet after the jump:
The article we read is about home sizes in the UK. The Brits' homes are actually the smallest, on average, for all of Europe! Here's the conversion for the chart above, alongside an Albers just for fun (remember, these are averages and reflect new homes constructed since 2003):
US: 2,300sf
Australia: 2,217sf
Denmark: 1,475sf
France: 1,216sf
Spain: 1,044sf
Ireland: 947sf
UK: 818sf

All those countries except Australia have a much higher population density than the US. Of course houses will be smaller in those countries.

Most of USA brahs build their with wood
Thats the reason why EU houses are smaller, coz it's more expensive.

Nothing wrong with smaller houses, though when I move I will look to get a 3-4 bedroom house just for myself!
