Space Saving Tiny Apartment, New York. This tiny but highly sophisticated studio apartment in the East Village of NYC has made us very proud, thanks to JPDA. Not only was it built as a super efficient multi-functional unit but with the use of detailed mill work, the storage capacity was very cleverly executed and resulted in a super stylish studio with a decent amount of floor space. Shouldn’t all NYC dwellers aim to live like this? You decide… A schematic rendering demonstrates a realistic plan for this tiny apartment. Although we’re not too sure how realistic that cubbyhole at the crown of the loft is in a NYC apartment building, the rest of the space makes perfect sense. This tiny living/work space is beautifully masked with natural light and looks so inviting! This mezzanine bedroom is constructed with beautiful teak wood that houses hidden storage compartments… What great use of typically neglected storage space….

My version uses less than $4 worth of supplies, mostly from the DOLLAR TREE store. THE STORY :) I moved into an apartment on the 3rd floor. all windows were single pane.
The building was built in about 1970, so there was poor insulation, and only single pane sliding glass windows.

By creating my bubble wrap storm window, I was able to raise the temperature in the room 15 degrees F in the first hour. As you can imagine the savings and comfort increased rapidly. As you can see I do have some depth to the window so making this work was kind of easy. Hockenheimer. Another way to store your old magazines and put it to better use. Hockenheimer by NJUStudio.
