yeah, i've seen some of those really small houses, & i think that would a bit too much for me - there's a point where claustrophobia might take over!
my apartment is in the sweet spot for me. given how little i own, even though it's small, it feels very spacious since there's really nothing taking up any room. some of the houses i've seen seem too cluttered to me, too filled with stuff. i have one living area that's nice and open and never leaves me feeling like the walls are closing in on me.
i personally would almost certainly never do anything like that, because i like the freedom of renting, but i certainly understand the appeal.

Claustrophobia would be my reaction for sure with the real dinky ones. A lot of them have those bedroom lofts with maybe 4' of clearance. Nope, nope 😬
It really does sound like you've found the sweet spot in residence size for your comfort level and the amount of items you have. I like nice and open, and uncluttered. A higher ceiling also helps a small space feel more spacious.
I had one apartment where the ceilings were only 7 feet high, and although it was bigger than the 320 square feet cottage, I always felt like the walls (and ceiling!) were closing in on me. Oppressive, and I had no clutter there.
