Inside A 150-Square-Foot Studio That Looks Like A Dream

Living in a city like Dubai means learning every wizardly hack to survive in closed spaces. And if you think you've mastered the art of living in a small space then you're wrong — an actor from Manhattan, NYC is totally taking the trophy away.

Six years ago, Anthony Triolo signed a lease on a 150 square foot studio on the Upper West Side. Little did he know that his degree in architecture would be put through a gruelling challenge — to transform this tiny studio into a chic practical living space.

From the ottoman sofa to the shoe shelf, Triolo built many of the organisational aspects of his confined space and renovated the rest to maximise storage opportunities.

"This was the first place I found on Craigslist that wasn’t a scam,” the actor, who has done a few supporting roles told New York Magazine. "The rent was low, plus it was clean, and the bathroom had been nicely renovated."
