incommodious
Lacking adequate space
Incommodious means uncomfortably cramped or inconvenient—lacking adequate space or ease: The incommodious apartment barely fit a bed and desk.
The word is formal and somewhat old-fashioned, typically describing physical spaces that fail to accommodate comfortably.
The opposite, commodious, means spacious and convenient.
