Big or small, apartment or house, theyre all home. Come inside one boys high-rise apartment complex, where his backyard is the space between his neighboring apartment buildings, and his basketball net is tucked into a bedroom. His parents sometimes complain their home is too small, but the boys balcony view of the city and the extended play space of the hallways are a few ways that make the boys house feel just the right size. Our Big Little Place is a charming childs-eye-view tribute to the power of imaginative play and the diversity of the living spaces we call home.
