They're talking about 800-1200sq², not 250sq². But I've spent some time in a 320sq² rooftop apartment, and it was more than enough for a couple. It's crucial that the layout and furniture are designed/chosen for the purpose, instead of trying to shrink a larger home.

I think you mean ft^2, not sq^2. A square squared is a tesseract, a four-dimensional object that is rather low on the priority list for most homebuilders.

Right :) I'm more used to m².

I don't think of 1200sf+ as being a "tiny home". More like a not-large home.
