Phillip Nuveen is buzzing in my head


Phillip Nuveen is back with a new luxury studio apartment, The Skyhive.

"The miniature is 24" long by 12" wide by 12" high. The front door is functional and the plexi glass windows panes slide in and out from the top of the structure to allow easy interior access. The home features several 3D printed pieces of furniture, and a functioning tv which is an iPhone 4. Its included and pre loaded with viewing content. The home has 65 LED lights in the ceiling and under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. The kitchen cabinets and fridge doors are not functional as well as the entertainment units doors and drawers. They are a visual suggestion of cabinets, the engineering to make them functional is extremely time consuming at this scale."

The Skyhive is for sale on Phillip's etsy shop for $1,000 listed here:
