2 MIN READ

This past weekend, five people tried out one of the hottest trends in urban living: micro-units. An exhibition, “Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers” at the Museum of the City of New York, examined the livability of such units by housing a couple, roommates, and a single person over the course of the weekend, who slept, cooked, read, and even did yoga in a unit in the museum itself. Below, some photos from the weekend sleepovers.
