Rent to Own.ph: A lot of thought and innovation went into the design of this small apartment. It is stylish, functional and only 39 square meters!

Graham Hill, founder of minimalist design firm LifeEdited, made headlines last year when he transformed a tiny, 420-square-foot apartment in Manhattan's trendy SoHo neighborhood into a livable — and fashionable — home.
The idea for the apartment was to fit 700 square feet into 420 square feet with the creative use of space. The result is a home that doubles as a treasure trove of storage space, featuring fold-up beds, hidden cabinets, removable walls and more. It can be transformed from a living room to bedroom, workspace, dining room and entertainment space.
"A simpler life is a happier life," Hill told Business Insider in an interview last year.

Here's what the space usually looks like as a bedroom. Hill says it can transform into five different spaces — including a living room, bedroom, dining room, entertainment center and workspace.

This is the view from the opposite angle. Hill said he loves the apartment and it hasn't been very difficult getting used to living in the small space, although he had lived in some other small spaces previously.

Here's the tiny kitchen. Hill described as "really smart and super efficient." The wall covered with clippings has a thin steel panel underneath to make it magnetic. The breakfast bar hides an extendable table.

The fridge and freezer are tucked away in a drawer.
For cooking, Hill's apartment has a Wolf convection oven/microwave with 1.5 cubic feet of space – enough to fit a turkey. A set of Joseph Joseph nesting bowls and utensils are kept next to the unit.

Hill opted for portable burners instead of a stove.

Here's the bathroom. It's split into a separate shower and toilet area.

One of the main features of the main room is the Resource Furniture Swing Sofa/Bed with chaise lounge extender. It's essentially a Murphy bed. It has a space for storage underneath the cushions.dd caption

There's no TV, but Hill entertains with a A Da-Lite projection screen.
