Here is another glowing proof that living small is not always a necessity, but can also be a conscious lifestyle choice. Take for example this tiny house, belonging to Mad Men star Vincent Kartheiser. A 580-square-foot cabin, which Kartheiser shares with his fiancée, actress Alexis Bledel, was initially divided into several minuscular rooms. Eventually the actor involved designer and builder Funn Roberts, and the layout has been opened up to include pretty much everything into a single big room. The particularly bold moves include a shower in the middle of the living area and a massive suspended bed controlled via a pulley system. I especially love the headboard that flips down to serve as a double desk when the bed is in the air. Kartheiser calls the eclectic style of the place “Japanese-industrial.” Here side-sliding screens coexist with metal fixtures, delicate lighting and Japanese garden contrast the provocative aesthetic of the living room. Check out more photos after the break to see this amazing home in more detail.

I had read that he originally had no running water or electricity, and did not own a car. This is one swanky, amazing, and well-thought out little space. It’s better to have something of quality in it’s simplicity rather than large and cluttered. Mies van der Rohe said it best, “Less is more.”
Fabulous……. it is looking simple but perfect.
So cool that a well-paid actor would choose to live small. And this place is breathtaking and functional.
