"Maximizing Small Spaces: Innovative Design Hacks for a Spacious Feel"

Architects in New York City are tackling the challenge of creating extra rooms and better storage in small duplexes and studios, as average apartment sizes have shrunk by as much as 10 percent over the last decade. Designers are finding creative solutions, such as custom shelving and seating to maximize space, transforming a tiny bathroom into a 1930s Machine Age invention, and reconfiguring a small apartment to create a cozy sleeping nook. These projects showcase the innovative ways architects are making the most of limited space in the city.
