The UK has the smallest sized living spaces in all of Europe, and habitable space is continuing to shrink. “Rabbit-hutch” Britain has some individuals inhabiting floor spaces as small as 12ft by 12ft – barely larger than a prison cell.
This research project has conducted film research across the UK in order to explore participants’ experiences of living in small spaces, asking them how they have adapted to their environment, and how they think it affects their well-being. The film examines whether these individuals’ living needs are being met by their accommodation, and documents their living environments. In response to the film research, a workbook has been produced, responding to the results of the film as a visual record.
