I’m so excited to show you this micro apartment in NYC that was photographed by David Engelhardt for Dwell Magazine.
Living in a place like NYC forces you to make the most of the space you have. That’s why the city is filled with so many fascinating small spaces, like this one.
Micro Apartment in NYC
How much can you fit into 240 square feet? This apartment/studio will give you a great idea of what might be possible in just about any small living space.
This masterfully designed space was designed and created by Brooklyn architect Tim Seggerman with inspiration from furniture designer George Nakashima.

The entire apartment is a master class in finish carpentry: There are cabinets of cypress and bamboo; a gently chamfered ash-and-beech staircase; flooring of quartered white oak; a desk of red birch slats that slips out into the living space. The lighting in the loft, much of it recessed behind panels of papyrus, lends the space a subtlety that doubles the sense of warmth. “It’s basically a piece of woodwork,” says Seggerman. “I’m very proud of that.” (Source)

The designer even made room for a micro library in the bedroom. There’s a better view below:

To the right of that you just slide some doors over and you’ve got your laundry room area. Genius!

Before I was married, I lived in a Chicago studio apartment that was 12′x12′ and it also had a wood-burning fireplace! And it wasn’t some chopped up home, either! The building was from the 1920′s and was designed for the new “working woman” who was moving from the farm to the city, increasing the workforce. Back then, it was almost like “student housing” but now, it’s in the richest area of Chicago, The Gold Coast, so no “poor farm gal” could have afforded it.
I have the same tea kettle as she does! Like minds think alike!!LOL
Nice to see small homes that don’t compromise on 2013 sensibilities.
Very nice interior design and wood work however I question the 240 square feet comment.
That would make the foot print a 12×20 and it looks bigger than that but pictures can be deceptive.
I like the starcase design and a half loft bedroom. Good use of space and the fireplace mantle and victorian furniture are complimentary.
