This reminds me of a few people I knew in college. I think certain people just have a better spatial awareness that lets them hack their physical surroundings, and with my friends it tended to happen a lot with the mechanical engineers. One roommate I had would build custom furniture kind of like this guy, to make the most out of his small room. He had a large television, a couch, a computer desk, a bed, a wardrobe, and a dresser in the same space where I had trouble even having the last 4 things, and he could fit all that in there by his clever use of space aided by custom fixtures that he built out of 2x4s.
