A Famously Tiny NYC Apartment Is For Sale For Almost $1 Million

In 2010 , Treehugger founder Graham Hill shrug off his self-command , project a high - tech microdwelling that would house all his needs in a exclusive , small room . Now this sweet-flavored footling transformer of an flat is on the market . The price ? $ 995,000 .

How small is it ? According tothe itemisation , it ’s 420 square animal foot , which really does not even qualify it as a “ microapartment , ” consort to most city banner . But what makes it so clever ( and maybe worth that cool million , besides the fact that it ’s in SoHo ) are all the feature that reserve Hill to do rather impossible matter in the place — like have12 - person dinner parties .

Gizmodovisited the spacelast year for a tour and we have elaborated reporting of its extreme functionality , thanks to a Murphy bed , modular and transportable article of furniture , and vanishing walls that move through the space on tracks in the base and cap . There ’s even a guest room !

The architects , Rumanian design students Catalin Sandu and Adrian Iancu , came up with the concept , named “ One Size Fits All , ” which submit that the apartment really features 1,000 square feet of livable blank , with eight separate rooms in one .

Hill has written and spoken extensively about his “ LifeEdited ” philosophy of living with less , and has shared the process for the apartment in a series of DIY narrative . He also plans to take the construct global , create like buildouts in other metropolis . have ’s trust he finds something similarly minuscule to move into , because turning up in anything over 500 satisfying feet would be horrifically off - brand . It would be great to see the flat transformed into an Airbnb rental ( or its equivalent ) for hesitant people to “ try out ” the experience of living in a small space and see it ’s really not all that chilling .
