A very Jelenedra question about lot size...
Hecubus:
I built a rather cool four-story modern residence for a city 'hood once...each floor had a distinct function, with the stairs running in a sort of spiral around the outside.
I'd share it, but the hood borkinated before I remembered to save the lot.
I've also used 1x1s for things like newsstands and other small single-purpose community lots...again, for cityscapes.

The smallest lot is 1x3. Or 3x1. I forget exactly.
You can get mini residential lots here. In the post there is a link for mini community lots too. Just in case you want them. You really can't do much with a 1x1 lot though. :-\
Sure you can ;) you just can't really have one as residential without it turning into a huge staircase of doom. I have a couple of 1x1 community gardens (crops, not flowers), a glorified newstand, a fake mini cemetary, an itty fishing hole, and "Put Something On!", a lot I may clear of custom content and share. Maybe. There's a bus stop in front and the store has three clothing racks, some decorative shelving, and a three-sided mirror area, plus a potty.
Unfortunately I don't have an outside pic handy. A 1x1 could work well as a coffee shop, too, if you are just aiming for the stand, a couple couches, and a couple bookcases. Not sure. I'll be playing around with them more soon as :o I get to build again :o as soon as Jasmine grows her butt up and marries someone to unlock Business.
Emma:
You're right, you can do quite a lot with them, as long as you don't want your sims to actually live there ;D
J. M. Pescado:
1x1s do not function as residential lots because the lot dimensions are too small to allow the full 0800 carpool to arrive, making it impossible for sims to simultaneously have a carpool and arriving school bus without issues. Also, there's evidence the game may retain an internal memory of where the car portals are SUPPOSED to be and screw up your lot if it resets their locations after a sim moves out. Changing the lot size remains unadvised.
Zazazu:
I've used the 1x2's for homes a few times before. Carpool and bus definitely can't be at the lot at the same time, that's for sure. What happens is that one or the other comes first (I think it was the carpool, but meh). The sim has to haul ass to get in the vehicle. Then it will drive off and the other will pull up. I moved my self-sim into a used 1x2 the other night and the taxi dropped her off just fine, but I haven't tried carpool and I definitely haven't popped out any kids.
