When the architects, Specht Harpman, were presented with a project to renovate this 425 sq ft apartment they didn’t realize it would be their most unusual project yet.
The way the apartment was laid out was odd for the amount of space it had. In addition the ceilings went up vertically 25 feet with access to the rooftop terrace.
The four level loft plan brought a solution to this modern micro apartment. It was inventive and creative.
Each loft flowed from one level to the next making the feel of the apartment very open and inviting.
The first level is the entry to the apartment plus the kitchen. Just a few stairs up is the main living area, above the living area would be the sleeping space with a cantilevered bed pavilion.
The final stairs lead up to the garden rooftop terrace. Perfect for a small dog!
Check out the built-in storage on the stairs of the lower level. Looks like plenty of space to store all your necessitates, right?
And don’t forget about the bathroom…it’s located just under the staircase.

I bet living in a small apartment like this one would feel very calming once stepping in after being out on the busy streets of Manhattan.
Like walking into your own little oasis, right?
Well, if I lived in Manhattan this would be the perfect simple living solution to the busy city vibes.
What do you think?
Could you live in a place like this?
