microunit
One millionth part
A microunit is an extremely small residential apartment, typically under 400 square feet, designed for single occupants in high-density urban areas.
The term emerged as housing costs in cities made conventional apartments unaffordable for many: The building converted to microunits to meet demand from young professionals.
Microunits usually include a combined living-sleeping space, compact kitchen, and bathroom.
