Crowdsourcing tiny home design (a 420-sq-ft Soho pad)

The average home size in the U.S. doubled in the past century but happiness levels stayed flat. Serial entrepreneur Graham Hill argues that we should take note of this and cut, cut, cut. He calls his mantra LifeEdited and he believes we'll actually be happier if we cut the size of our homes, cars, collection of stuff and even our number of friends. To take the conversation public, he's bought a tiny apartment in New York's Soho and he's preparing to crowdsource its redesign. Hill shows us the "before" of his 420-square-foot mini apartment and talks about his vision for a wall-less "jewel box" where smart multifunctional furniture can transform the space depending on need.

@angelinajoanie I filmed something with Graham this summer at a mid-way point and I will edit something soon I hope with perhaps a bit more when he finishes. Except to see something in a couple months.
