Tiny Origami Apartment In Manhattan Unfolds Into 4 Rooms

In 2005, third-grade-teacher Eric Schneider bought a 450 square foot studio apartment in Manhattan with a tiny kitchen. He then hired architects Michael Chen and Kari Anderson of Normal Projects to design a way to pack more density into his small space.

Here is a tour of the finished apartment and an interview with Eric and Michael describing to process. Quite elegant and beautiful. I wonder what the view is like.
