Graham Hill, the founder of green design and living site TreeHugger, transformed his Manhattan studio apartment into an uber-efficient living space four years ago. He’s now ready to move on and has put the pad up for sale for a tick under a million bucks.

As you can see in the video above, the apartment uses virtually every space-saving technique you can think of – and then some. Prior to building, Hill set up a crowdsourced contest to attract architects to the project and ultimately went with a $365,000 design from Romanian architecture students Catalin Sandu and Adrian Iancu.

Paying that kind of money for 420-square-feet of living space is ludicrous by most people’s standards but the amount of time and creativity put into the project is no doubt impressive.

Leave it to folks from NY to be total morons thinking that tiny spaces like that are worth the price they pay.
I'll stick with my 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 3 car garage thanks. Oh, and not a lame *** garage that was converted to a living space.
 
Japanese have been living in small apartments like these for a long time and doing much more inexpensively and beautifully. This guy is crazy
