Friday Find/ Graham Hill: Less = More



It’s GOOD FRIDAY! For this week’s Friday Find, we’re raving about Canadian founder of LifeEdited and Treehugger, Graham Hill. He travels the world and tells the story of sustainability design and living. He has experience the simple life of having fewer possessions. With an education in Architecture from Carleton U and Industrial Design from and E.C.I.A.D in Vancouver - this is what we call homegrown talent.

This ideology led Graham to his most recent project: flexible micro-homes. We love the whole concept that less stuff and a small space can lead to a happier, healthier and more sustainable life. LifeEdited promotes pared-down living and is planning to sell flexible micro-apartments that will create a new lifestyle. How great is that!



We even manage to snag the floor plans of the layout and how the space functions in four different layouts from LifeEdited.


Graham managed to create and fit eight rooms into 420-square-feet apartment. The micro-apartment is astonishing as you watch the small place transform. With these clever designs, you would definitely be able to live in a small and highly functional space. Here’s a video to show you how the micro apartment functions from Gizmodo on Vimeo.

After watching this space transform, you’ll definitely want a micro-apartment for yourself. Are you interested in a sustainable lifestyle? If so, watch Graham Hill on TED as he talks about a lifestyle with less stuff equals more happiness and how to achieve it!
