Architect Tim Seggerman has renovated a 240 square foot studio apartment in the Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York to include brilliant pockets of functional spaces, such as a tiny library you can only crawl into.
This eclectic apartment is finished in wood. Along with the apartment owner (who is an anthropology professor), Seggerman took the influences of legendary furniture designer and woodworker George Nakashima, and the inspiration from the owner’s previous one-room West African hut she had lived in since 1980, combined them to renovate this apartment. The result is glorious.
Combining design with craft and mastery, the wood-paneled cabinets and loft area in the apartment were handcrafted by Seggerman, in same style as Nakashima.
And the centerpiece? The "glorified cubby" in this micro-dwelling, a crawl-in space that serves as a library. It may be small, but it makes up for in coziness.
