Issue 15: The small space issue

FEATURES

1. THINK BIGGER

   As city life gets increasingly dense and the square-footage of new construction shrinks, urbanites from New York to Melbourne are forced to find creative ways to eke out more space. Here are space-bending projects from around the world that will have you living large with little effort.

2. WORK SMALLER

   Sure an in-office bar, a panoramic view, and a 30-inch monitor would be nice. But for most professionals, these trappings are out of reach. Meet people who log long hours in places that require some genius reworking just to get the job done.

3. PREPDED SCHOOL

   If your cramped kitchen has that built-to-spill feeling, dinner parties can quickly devolve into chaos. Here's how to make a great multi-course meal in advance, so you have time to have fun.
