Boulder, Colorado, couple fulfill lifelong dream, living large in a 133-square-ft. home

Some homeowners prefer the sprawl of suburban McMansions. Others opt for cozy old bungalows near city centers.

Not too many opt for a 133-square-foot home — you read that correctly — that on first glance looks not much larger than a Great Dane’s doghouse.

But Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller did just that. The Boulder couple built a 7-by-19-foot wooden house whose foundation is a two-axle trailer bed. Last week, they towed it to a 5-acre patch of isolated hillside 20 minutes outside this town, which sits on South Park’s eastern edge.

Could you live in (or share) a space this small?
