Video Tour: Architect Lives AND Works in a 78-Square-Foot Mini-Studio

by on Aug 9, 2011

Architect and designer Luke Clark Tyler used to live in 96 square foot apartment. Recently, he downsized to 78 square feet. Which, in case you’re wondering, is probably smaller than your hallway.

” It’s too narrow to fit a bed lengthwise, but using a bit of plywood and 2x4s he built his own custom bed/couch. When it’s down as a bed the room is mostly bed and when it’s up as a couch he has a very close relationship with the wall, ‘but I just use it as an excuse not to buy an ottoman because… I can just prop my feet right up on the wall.’ He keeps his clothes, plates, microwave, books, spices and shaving and cleaning supplies in a large built-in cabinet. The rest of his kitchen is a tiny refrigerator that helps hold up his desk (he works for home as a contract architect).”
