Graham Hill, the founder of architecture and design consultancy Life Edited, has been actively challenging the idea of luxury and space for the past 5 years.
His 420-square-foot New York City studio apartment might sound like a tight squeeze — but with its innovative design, Hill has managed to create a transforming space that can actually function similar to a house two to three times its size. Dinner party with 10 guests? No problem. Two family members staying for the holiday weekend? Bring it on.
For Hill, his apartment is an extension of his minimalist lifestyle.
"Living with less" means "it's easier to choose to focus on important stuff with a little more ease," he told Business Insider.
He shared some photos of his incredible apartment and its various space-saving hacks.

This seemingly simple 420-square-foot studio actually has 1,000 square feet of functionality.
While Hill was working at TreeHugger.com, he became increasingly aware of the negative effects larger homes can have on the environment.
"Between 40-70% of greenhouse gas emissions are somehow related to housing: constructing them, powering them, transportation to and from them, filling them up with stuff and so on," Hill said.
