    What kind of chairs are those? It seem like there are 2 kinds, the stacking, non folding ones, and the flat folding ones. I’m curious about both

    Is this apartment design something that is replicatable or a showcase tool for the products displayed? I think the apartment is a great idea but at what cost? A $4,000 table is a lot but being minimalist reduces the number of furniture items so overall can this design be cost effective.

      hi steve,
      the apartment is far more prototype/experiment/showcase, though we see many elements as applicable to replicable models. in terms of the expense of certain elements, a certain amount of new math needs to be applied. we throw out the idea that a $4k table might eliminate the need for a 200 sq ft dining room. that said, we are always on the lookout for ways of doing this for any budget.

    Really love the concepts here. What was the cost of doing this refit? What would you do differently (if anything) next time… now that you have had a chance to live in the place?

    • lifeedited

      costs were about $250k-300k for full gut renovation. it’s hard to say what we’d do different. most of it would have been stuff you can’t see like a particular efficiency measure that didn’t improve efficiency enough to justify time and expense.

      there were a number of issues with the cabinetry; e.g. 8′+ wood cabinet doors bow so we had to put in aluminum reinforcements. there were a number of things like that which were impossible to predict, yet caused significant effort and money to resolve. when you have such a small space, there’s little margin for error. doing it on a large scale would allow us to systematize and make things much better and cheaper.

    Where does one purchase the bunk bed unit on the guest room wall? It’s fabulous? How wide is it when closed? Thanks.

    • lifeedited

      you can go to http://resourcefurniture.com. the unit is called the lollipop. i believe it’s 16″ deep…i.e. very slim.

    Mayor Bloomberg is a great advocate of micro concepts. Are you getting good vibes from other cities or are they standing by prohibitive zoning?

    • lifeedited

      it’s mixed from city to city. there’s definitely some backlash in places, notably san fran and seattle. there are numerous other cities using the micro-concept such as vancouver, boston, dc, chicago, providence ri and a few others. i think it’s going to take people a little time to get used to the format–until it’s a normal part of the urban landscape–but it will happen.
