How do you make a tiny New York City apartment into a livable 240-square foot space with a sleeping loft? You enlist the help of Brooklyn architect Tim Seggerman, who renovated this Upper West Side brownstone studio into what it is today.
The space was in poor shape to begin with so they incorporated blond woods to build the interior out, including the loft over the kitchen.
A nook creates a cubby-like library to crawl into.
Can you believe they were able to fit a washing machine in there?!
To see the entire space, visit Dwell.

Anyone have any idea where they might have gotten those cabinet pulls? Never seen anything like that before, and really love it!

omg, such efficient use of such a small space, and it looks nice too; not crammed up.
i used to think my 740sq.ft. apartment was so small and not worth decorating ………. :-/

How cool! Makes me want to chuck my stuff and see how small I can go.

What’s inside those lower stairs? I hope they pull out as drawers!

That’s innovative use of space if you have the height. And it looks like it’d work great if most of your possessions consist of books. But what about storage of REAL items people own – clothes, boots, Christmas decor, luggage, etc.
