Amazingly condensed 420 sq ft apt in NYC

GIZMODO – The Tiny Transforming Apartment That Packs Eight Rooms into 350 Square Feet – 5 and a half minute video of Graham Hill, founder of Treehugger.com, showing us through his very small New York apartment (he’s the one who says it’s 420 sq ft).  It’s beautifully outfitted with hidden storage, folding and expanding furniture, multi-use appliances, a movable wall that creates a guest bedroom for two, and a toilet room that transforms into a quiet room for private phone calls.  Got the link from Brian Sweeney.  Thanks, Brian!
