Could you live in a converted barn? Could we? My wife and I tried out this small cottage. I'm guessing it's around 35 - 40 m2.
It's decorated to have that barn look from the outside, but inside it is quite modern. Down one end are the bathroom and the kitchen, which are more spacious than I expected.
At the other end is the bedroom and sitting area (along with a table of tourist brochures). Behind the central curtain is an outdoor seating area.
Tiny home enthusiasts: there is also a loft. It looks like there are hooks for a ladder to get up there.
Having said that, I think it would be very possible to live in a space this size. The height is a great feature as it allows for much storage, both in a loft above a room and by having even more cupboard space in the kitchen.
We got to thinking how we would (in theory) live in a space like this. We'd add more clothes storage, like a wardrobe where the brochure table is; and probably some under-bed clothes drawers. The kitchen table would double as my blogging desk.
We'd have to downsize our paperwork to get it into a couple of drawers in the kitchen. Same goes for downsizing all the stuff that's in our garage to the point where it could fit in a space like the loft.
The key really is how much stuff we own - that we don't really need. It's got me inspired to do another round of downsizing.

Could we live there?
Obviously, visiting on a holiday is different to making a permanent home. On a trip you leave things behind. Your washing machine, musical instruments, bicycles, and Christmas tree - to name just some.Having said that, I think it would be very possible to live in a space this size.
