BARCELONA, Spain - For the past few weeks, Harry Kajevic has been sleeping in a 2.4-square-meter capsule apartment in a clandestine location.
He is one of the first residents of a "beehive"-style housing project, inspired by those in Japan or Hong Kong. The project opened in Barcelona despite not having a permit from the city authorities.
The initiative by the Spanish startup company Haibu consists of 20 tiny living pods, which include a bed and nightstand.
