Manhattan Micro Apartment Makes Use of ‘Living Platforms’

Specht Harpman Architects faced a unique challenge when tasked with renovating this Manhattan micro apartment. While just 425 square feet, the loft boasts an impressive 24 feet of vertical space, and sits at the top of a 6-story building.

Their solution was the creation of multiple ‘living platforms,’ or different levels throughout the small apartment which are all distinct from one another.

At the entrance is a compact bathroom and small, but beautiful modern kitchen. Step up into the living room which features large windows and white finishing throughout, keeping the space airy and bright. Additional storage is found under the staircase, which features barely-there balusters, creating an illusion of open space.

The lofted bedroom retains its privacy from the rest of the home and features another small staircase leading to a private rooftop garden. Take a look at the tiny Manhattan loft below, including some photos from before its renovation.
