He and his brother, Micah, are the founding principals of Princevest, a real estate development company that builds apartments in Princeton, New Jersey. Ironically, they initially had trouble finding an apartment in New York City. When they finally found a place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, younger brother Caleb got the 50-square-foot bedroom. What he did to expand it into \u201ca hug from Mother Nature\u201d was the subject of a New York Times Living Small article earlier this year. But as older brother Micah notes in the piece, \u201che has become almost aggravatingly competent at doing more with less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/?attachment_id=1466140\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1466140 nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1466140\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/2025\/11\/07\/caleb-feiring-ba15-a-haven-in-the-concrete-jungle\/tiny-bedroom-book_edited_1600pxw\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Tiny-Bedroom-Book_edited_1600pxW.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1394\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tiny Bedroom Book_edited_1600pxW\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Caleb Feiring, above, relaxes in his 50-square-foot bedroom in the apartment he shares with his brother in Bedford-Stuyvesant. &lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/files\/Tiny-Bedroom-Book_edited_1600pxW-600x523.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Tiny-Bedroom-Book_edited_1600pxW.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1466140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Tiny-Bedroom-Book_edited_1600pxW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1394\"  \/><\/a>Caleb Feiring, above, relaxes in his 50-square-foot bedroom in the apartment he shares with his brother in Bedford-Stuyvesant.<\/p>\n<p>Shelves in the closet provide storage (bottom right), while the closet doors (bottom left) feature painted panels of peel-and-stick wallpaper designed by artist Mae Curry.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/2025\/11\/07\/caleb-feiring-ba15-a-haven-in-the-concrete-jungle\/img_0404_edited\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">   <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1466147\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/files\/IMG_0404_edited.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,2060\" data-comments-opened=\"\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS R8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1736990920&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_0404_edited\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/files\/IMG_0404_edited-350x600.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/news.vanderbilt.edu\/files\/IMG_0404_edited-932x1600.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0404_edited.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"764\" data-original-width=\"445\" data-original-height=\"764\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"IMG_0404_edited\" alt=\"IMG_0404_edited\" style=\"width: 445px;
