BODEGA
The Bodega has a fireplace, a full
bath and kitchen and a washer/
dryer beneath the counter. I don’t
count the loft as square footage in
this house because, with so much
sloped ceiling, it doesn’t officially
qualify as a habitable room. That
said, with seven feet of ceiling
height over more than 70 square
feet, this heated loft provides a lot
of usable space.

HARBINGER
The Harbinger is the Dutch hip
version of the Bodega described
on page 168. In this case, a bump-
out provides enough space for an
additional bedroom or sitting room
downstairs. If one were to count
the loft, this house would actually
measure almost 600 square feet,

NEW VESICA
The New Vesica is essentally the
Bodega turned sideways. The
New Vesica is officially 278 square
feet, but, if the loft were included,
it would measure in at just over
450 square feet.
