Lego-style apartment in Barcelona

I'm not sure if I could live like this, but it certainly looks cool.


When Christian Schallert isn't cooking, dressing, sleeping or eating, his 24 square meter (258 square feet) apartment looks like an empty cube. To use a piece of furniture, he has to build it.

Wow: 90-square-foot microstudio in Manhattan

I'm pretty sure I would go nuts if I had to live in a space that small, but it's pretty impressive nonetheless.


By choosing a studio that measures just 12 feet by 7 feet, Felice Cohen can afford to live in Manhattan's Upper West Side where apartments rent for an average of $3,600 per month. She pays just over $700 for her 90-square-foot microstudio.

PHOTOS: Chipped Wall Portraits

Alexandre Farto (aka Vhils) is a gifted Portuguese street artist who has an amazing knack for creating large wall art pieces. Mr Farto, better known as Vhils, creates large scale portraits by carefully scratching and chipping plasters out of walls of disused and depleted buildings. Alexandre Farto’s wall portraits are spread over a handful of European cities, and also Moscow and New York.
