178 Square Feet of Bliss

Zach Motl, a junior designer at Robert Couturier & Associates in New York, has made the most of his 178 square foot studio apartment in Brooklyn.  One hundred and seventy eight square feet!  Just the thought of it sounds claustrophobic.  Despite the size, his arrangement of furniture and clever storage space makes his apartment seem so much larger.  What I admire most are his design elements.  I like how he doesn't design in a cookie cutter way.  He incorporated items he collected over time.  It's modern, quirky, but simple.
