I think this is rather ingenious as well as being eco-friendly. I like the nice touches like cutting memory foam for his bed and using cork instead of linoleum for the floor because it's better for the environment and maintains heat within the compartment.
Also, the solar panel to power his desktop in his "office" is a nice touch too.
I've always liked having less clutter and I found his way of living rather inspirational.

"The Guest House"
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture.
Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Rumi (Sufi poet)
