Before living in the 78-square-foot apartment, Tyler actually inhabited a larger, 96-square-foot home but chose to downsize.
One of the best benefits of the studio is that you don’t even need an ottoman.

+ 78-square-foot NYC Apartment
We've seen some mighty small apartments in our time, but Luke Clark Tyler's Midtown Manhattan studio may very well be the new winner. At just 78-square-feet, the architect's studio home is cozier than some walk-in closets, but the space works quite efficiently thanks to Tyler's architecture prowess. Read on to check out Kirsten Dirksen's video of this box-like bachelor pad, and you may even be able to take home some tips as Tyler explains how he created a flip-down bed for about $170.
Tyler built his own Murphy-style bed using plywood and 2x4s.
When he's not sleeping, he flips the bed up and replaces the cushion so that he can sit on the couch.
The bed also contains a storage area.
When it's time to sleep, he just folds the bed down.
No ottoman necessary when you can just prop your feet up on the wall!
There is no stove, but a microwave is all Tyler needs since he is a vegetarian and doesn't eat many cooked foods besides eggs.
A small fridge does double-duty as a leg for his desk.
Tyler also built the desk himself.

A small closet holds Tyler's essentials.
The bathroom is outside of the apartment and is shared with a few other floormates.
