Treehugger founder Graham Hill's tiny transforming apartment packs eight rooms into just 420 square feet - and it's now up for sale for $995,000. The headline-grabbing minimalist wonder won an AIA NY Honor Award and was even featured in its very own TED talk. Although the price tag seems steep at $2,369 per square foot, this small Soho studio isn't your run-of-the-mill micro dwelling--its moveable walls and hidden compartments expand its functionality to an apartment twice its size, and it can even comfortably seat 12 for dinner.
