Capsule houses are a product of today's high housing prices. The main features of capsule houses are small area and low price. They are named because they are small and resemble capsules. Generally, ordinary houses are divided into several rooms, so each room is very small, similar to a capsule.
For example: an owner from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, converted a 6-story private house into a 55-room "capsule apartment". It is reported that in China's high-consumption and low-income areas, such capsule apartments have low rents. The smallest room in the capsule house is only 4.5 square meters. Users living in the building usually have their own bathroom and kitchen, and share the living room with one or more people.
