The fact that there's 13ft high ceilings but you still have to duck in some places and hide a guest bed is a joke... I feel like the space had so much potential but I can't agree with the way the architect has used the space I'm afraid. I hope you'll be happy there long term but I personally would tire very quickly living in that apartment.
So much space, yet 2 very pokey bedrooms and one massive bathroom. They could have had 2 floors in the main room, that would have given the apartment an extra bedroom by putting one front and one back with a full bathroom between the two. Far more liveable as a lay out.
Here it is, our brand new dream apartment!!! It's pretty surreal how much can change in a few years if you put in the thoughtful work towards your goals, I want to thank everyone for watching and supporting the channel. Hope everyone has had a productive and healthy week, comment below if you would like to see an updated tour once we have furniture. - Erik
That's an interesting layout... To me its just a waste of space having so many long narrow corridors and empty walls. But if you're planning on investing in art pieces - it's kinda perfect.
It’s so interesting to see how people live/want to live. I am not someone who would spend this much for this loft or really any loft, but I understand if others would. I am european, living next to a forest in a fully renovated smart house that cost a lot less than this tiny apartment so I really can’t imagine living in this. And even if it has a lot of storage (not that much in my opinion) who would want a huge hallway in the middle of a flat while a bedroom can barely fit a bed?
YES, it's a 4 million dollar hallway (with oak wood, a brick accent wall and track lighting!!) , the bedroom is an after thought. I honestly think that this place was originally designed to be an office...
Actually this is pretty good price in NYC. My husband’s sister bot a 8M apartment here few years ago. This apartment feels more interesting. If I am a multi-millionaire and want to buy a real estate for either self-living or investment, NYC is my no.1 choice.
By the end of the video I was kind of expecting him to show a wall and say: "This looks like a wall, but actually if you press it, you open up and here's the gym, the sauna, the tennis court, the swimming pool and our own exclusive New York Disneyland theme park".
It's as many square feet as my parent's home, but theirs has 4 large bedrooms, living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, and three bathrooms. I feel like the space could have been designed differently to still feel modern but also be more functional.
I agree with your point, and idk how's your parents home but i guess it has 2 floors. I support the idea that it is a little dysfunctional in a lot of ways, but i also think it was intended to be for young couples rather than families.
I was really shocked when he mentioned total sf….we own a 2500sf ranch house in san diego - 4 bed / 2 bath (including ensuite w/ doorless walk-in triple head shower), large open plan living, dining, kitchen, 2 car garage & home office…not sure where all the space in this one went?!
I agree with you, but this apartment was clearly designed to be a bachelor pad. No family would move into this place, and the designer was probably OK with that. It can likely be sold at a higher price point as a bachelor pad than a family home as well.
I was just thinking this is the same square footage of my 4/2 house that has a massive master, living room, dining room, and family room. Such a poor use of space. And I’m sure that long awkward hall is counted as part of the square footage, basically useless space if you aren’t an art collector.
this apartment is beautiful but honestly, there's a lot that doesn't feel practical for actual living. a lot of 'luxury' spaces are designed with aesthetics in mind first because the people that live there don't actually spend that much time there. like yeah, the fridge/freezer drawers are super sleek but it means that you have to spend all your time in the kitchen bending down to get things. burners again, look super cool, but would probably make a huge mess every time you use them. you've got 2000 square feet but the bedroom can barely fit a king-sized bed? why not push that out a few feet so you actually have a bedroom space? all that vertical storage sounds awesome but if you can't reach it, you won't use it. especially in a bathroom cabinet that usually houses things you use every day. you have to pull out that drawer every time you want to watch tv? no way will you actually do that so it just gets left pulled out, defeating the entire purpose of the cabinet
Totally agree. The guest "room" is actually a single bed size volume space. Many sq ft are used for the living and kitchen, but I want to see how is it possible to keep a minimalistic kitchen when u add all the appliances. As you said is perfect for someone that actually doesn't use the house
I must agree with you.... for me, it was such a let down when I saw how small the main bedroom is (we spend 1/3 of our life in the bedroom apparently lol)... And also the fact that none of the bedroom is even a proper bedroom especially for that high end of apartment... with that size and luxury finish of apartment like that, I expected at least 2 proper bedrooms plus 2 bathrooms ( 1 bathroom for guest and 1 ensuite bathroom).. Main bedroom in the luxury apartment normally have ensuite bathroom and it's not like this apartment dont have a space for it.. 2000 square feet is a big apartment...I feel the proportion is totally wrong.... whoever design the lay out thinking too much for "entertaining areas" and suddenly remember "oh sh\t we forgot to put the bedroom , ahh well, let's just stick it over here... lol"
I personally think that spending 10k a month on a place like this should get me a better view than a just brick wall, and all that space could have been used more wisely in my opinion.
This place is really nice just a lot of space utilized poorly. There is so much more potential that gone to waist with the size of this unit. Mainly the bedroom
Agree, there was so much more to work with. That bedroom size is just really really bad. But I’m very happy for them. It works for them, but I still think that there was so much potential to make a big, beautiful bedroom
It seems like the bedroom was an after thought for most part. The previous owners were more focused on 13ft ceilings than anything else. Space was NOT utilized like it should be. Looks very nice but COULD of been a lot better concerning space. Sad part is, they bought it. Hopefully, not to keep up with latest bullshit housing and social media trends.... but they picked SoHo, so...
The finishes are beautiful but terrible layout. The living room should be where the kitchen is. The dining room and kitchen should be located in the center of the apartment. The current living room should be an actual bedroom. Those stupid appliance drawers in the kitchen require bending down for everything and offer less storage than a real refrigerator and freezer.
@@erikvanconover Once you get settled in the uniqueness and thrill of having all these features will fade. Humans are creatures of habit and practicality is naturally something we lean towards. That tv will most likely stay out because why keep tucking it away every time you want to watch tv? To say that uniqueness is sometimes more important than practicality seems a little odd. Most designers would disagree with that statement. Good design is meant to be both aesthetic AND practical/convenient/enjoyable to use. Highly recommend adding ‘the design of everything things’ by Don Norman (former designer at Apple) to that bookshelf - he is the king of user experience design which applies to everything we interact with, including architectural designs like this. Regardless, congrats on the new space!
@@CarlesPhoto as someone who LOVES to spend my free relaxation time in my bedroom, the size of theirs was a bit of a shock. For me 1. Kitchen 2. Bedroom 3. Living Room are probably the most important in that order
This is crazy, for almost 4 million you don't even have a second bathroom for guests or an actual bedroom. The fixtures are very luxurious but the actual living spaces are ridiculous
Being empathic I absolutely love the open air in this apartment I would be putting tons of plants in there like live plants and I would just be in seventh heaven
Exactly! I mean they could have taken some space from that insanely large bathroom. Having that tall shower is awesome and all, but make the shower a normal height and extend the "wave" wall where the bath is and they could have more space in that sorry excuse for a bedroom.
There are some nice details in this place, and with the right furniture arrangement that big room could be very cool. But for $3.7 million you don't even have a real bedroom, and you only look at out other walls and windows? I know NYC real estate is expensive, but wow.
I think this place is a huge bargain. It is a loft so it is supposed to not have a bedroom. Personally, I wouldn't mind sleeping in that "bedroom" because I probably won't spend much time in it anyway since I was given all this space. And he could have turned somewhere into a bedroom with all the available empty space if he wants to.
This apartment feels more like a gimmick than practical. Might mostly be because of the lack of furniture but it has the vibe of an empty IKEA showroom. It's crazy to me how a 2000 square foot apartment with high ceilings can make me feel so claustrophobic lol
Not to mention how awfully small the bedroom is. You have all this ENORMOUS 2000 sq ft place with 13ft celling, and you manage to make the bedroom 1. wall-less (that is actually AWFUL) and 2. big enough to barely fit just 1 bed. To me, that's idiocy. My 700 sq ft 1 bed apartment has a bedroom that's what feels like twice as big.
I agree but I think if you lived there you could make it feel more homey. Even regular houses in the super minimalist style make me feel cold and claustrophobic. But idk 🤷🏻♂️
Respect for the guy for getting that apartment but I don't really like it, it's weird to have such a massive kitchen and dining area but such a small master and guest bedroom.
the tiny master bedroom makes no sense whatsoever. All of the footprint is open and large and spacious and then the main room is super tiny and open and clausthropobic... the custommade bookshelves make for a great head rest! That's were I envisioned the bedroom, by the bookshelves
@@liamwatts3308 beside a proper bed (queen or king size bed), master bedroom also need two bedside tables ... and in the high end apartment, a sitting area ( a chair with/without a small table)
@@ASIT7TR yeah but this house is different as it is more open and does really have “rooms” so I think the bedroom is small because of that reason. functionally the bedroom works and besides tones of people are complaining about there house as if they care the bedroom is small if they did they wouldn’t of bought the house
Good for him, because he's selling these grand places, while he lived in a closet. So, it's wonderful that he is finally able to afford and have a new place!
the fact that this is nearly 4 million dollars is hilarious. You can get a massive modern waterfront property in a good city for half of that. Blows my mind.
I'm in love with the space it has and how modern it is. But the bedroom is the best part of a home and I was so excited to see it. And omg was I disappointed.
This channel is one of the most wholesome channels on YT. So much work and thought put into every video. One of the coolest things about YT is that it gives platform to people like Erik
The space is stunning for sure. Love the minimal, yet ingenious design of the kitchen in particular. The biggest drawback is the tiny and somewhat open sleeping area. Also, it is a drag to have to walk downstairs to go to the bathroom
Came to this channel in 2015 because of a video that said how to live in NYC with 20k/year. The apartment was as small as it gets. Seeing this in 5 years fills my heart with joy
Yeah everything was great and grand then when you get to the loft area, it became a typical NY apartment. They also could've taken a foot or two from the first level so the loft can have a bit more headroom.
Geez, I’ve been following your channel since the days of you having only 2,000 to 3,000 subscribers and look at you now!! I’ve been super busy with work, so I haven’t had the chance to watch most of your latest content. I just wanted to say that I am absolutely proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished over the years! It’s inspiring to see you go through changes, explore new things, experience setbacks, and finally end up where you want and need to be. Your journey helps me not give up when I face challenges or hit barriers. I love your new apartment and can’t wait to see more. Congratulations to you and Hanna!! ❤️
Why didn’t they make an additional bedroom for guests on the first floor? An why is there no bathroom ups, even a half bath? You could move the dining room table closer to the kitchen, and wall off a bedroom between the living room area and the family room with TV and bookcase. There is no sound privacy in the loft. You need a room for a guest or child! Otherwise the space is huge and lovely.
Congrats Eric!! To all who is reading this if you put to action a dream you have and dedicated 5 years to it, I have no doubt you will be successful. YES I'm talking to YOU.
I absolutely love how after doing $100 million dollar apartment tours, you can see how truly happy you are to show your new apartment! Don't get me wrong, I'd kill for your place but just the tone of enjoyment you had... it's great to see. Well done, mate!
We looked at a Miehl dishwasher the other day. The sales guy said it was the top of the line from Germany. Oddly, it didn't have a silverware basket. You just lay the silverware on slots in the 3rd rack. We didn't like that and went with a Kitchen-aid.
In the space between the kitchen and dining, you should put like a sitting area with two chairs up against brick wall, kind of facing each other and the white curved wall (like diagonally). This way if your parents or other guests come over and want to join you in the kitchen while y’all are cooking but don’t want to stand, they have a little sitting area.
I’ve never seen such a large hallway u r forced to go through just to get to another super tight hallway to the kitchen. Not only that but why is there a bedroom/office next to the fucking kitchen. Also all the storage is just inconvenient. The way it’s placed, where it’s placed. An example is the fridge and freezer… Is that a joke?! Also there should be a bigger island for the kitchen. It just does not go well with the size of the room. The dining room table should be where the living room table/ The light would compliment the table well and I think that you can really socialize more when the living room is next to the kitchen. Also, the TV should not hide away. It makes it look emptyER. Why is tag bedroom not separated from the loft and stairs? There’s no privacy. This house is just a mess and badly designed. Good job 👏
It's SO awkwardly laid out. Super high ceilings, cramped laundry and bedroom. Weird curvy wall that runs straight down the living area. The most aesthetically pleasing and practically spaced area is the living room IMO.
He literally said they just got the apartment and it still empty because of that so I guess this is nowhere near as how it is going to look with the furniture and other stuff
so much money in to that apartment and the room is a closet 😮 i was waiting for the room tour and i wow in shock on how they sleep in that tiny closet room
Tiny, tight corridor that leads to another tiny corridor and BOOM! Long-ass kitchen. Why? And how can you stock a pantry horizontally in drawers?Surely all everyday cooking utensils, appliances and ingredients should be visible at eye level and easy to reach.
@@sandhyamathura Yeah the kitchen just doesn't seem that functional to me. The stacked horizontal fridge and freezer would bother me, too. They didn't seem very spacious given the size of the place.
If you had the chance to live there would you, yes just be happy for the guy. I understand your criticisms but going to the extent of insulting the architects carer is dipping into the territory of subjective criticism
Erik... I’ve been watching your videos from the very beginning of your TH-cam channel, then I got off TH-cam for a couple of years and today I looked you up. I just have to say I’m so proud of how far you’ve come, and I want to say congratulations on all your success! You deserve it! Sending happy thoughts to you and your little family 🥰
As a fellow Manhattanite, this is the best tour you've ever given. What an intimate, elegant space. Also, Erik, can you tell me the name of the instrumental you used at the end. Love it.
For that overhang on the side of the island without the stools, I’d build a bend with a back, with thick squared cushions. Charcoal corduroy fabric slip cover with snaps for the back of the raw wood bench. Square gusseted depth of 2”. And hav a comparable footrest built in for us shorties. :). People love to hang in the kitchen.
I’d put the TV and couch where the dining room table is so that you don’t have light interference. Then I’d put the dining room table parallel to the windows in the “living room”along with a chaise or longer by the bookshelves. The dining room doesn’t have to be adjacent to the kitchen.
if you renovated to extend the loft in like A bridge manor over the dinning room you could have way more space uptop and the dinning area wouldnt feel as empty, and you would maintain the high ceilings in the dinning room and living room, it would also be cool to be able to over look your kitchen and living area
This is like a horror movie scenario with hidden doors leading to hidden rooms inside the walls and people secretly live in there and steal your pizza at night.
Yesss manifest the life you desire!!! I'm so happy to see this it reminds me that it can still happen if you continue to get out of your own way, believe and work hard!!! Blessings, love, and happy manifesting to all reading this!!!
I think it's great you found a place you like. For me personally, the long corridor would've been a no-go. Vertical storage wouldn't be my thing either. I think the kitchen looks neat though, besides the view. For that price, I'd want to see some skyline, lol.
The fact that there's 13ft high ceilings but you still have to duck in some places and hide a guest bed is a joke... I feel like the space had so much potential but I can't agree with the way the architect has used the space I'm afraid. I hope you'll be happy there long term but I personally would tire very quickly living in that apartment.
honestly it would have been more space efficient and easier to stage if they just made a hallway and split this long boi into two 800 sqft apartments
That isn't the guest bed, that's the master bed.
So much space, yet 2 very pokey bedrooms and one massive bathroom. They could have had 2 floors in the main room, that would have given the apartment an extra bedroom by putting one front and one back with a full bathroom between the two. Far more liveable as a lay out.

Exactly! I mean they could have taken some space from that insanely large bathroom. Having that tall shower is awesome and all, but make the shower a normal height and extend the "wave" wall where the bath is and they could have more space in that sorry excuse for a bedroom.
Not to mention,all that wasted space in that ridiculously long entrance hallway.
There are some nice details in this place, and with the right furniture arrangement that big room could be very cool. But for $3.7 million you don't even have a real bedroom, and you only look at out other walls and windows? I know NYC real estate is expensive, but wow.
Eh dude has money. My guess is they would probably sell and move out when they have kids.
@@Bubbles-cd9qo if you have money you can buy shit?
@@rafadydkiemmacha7543 Expensive shit*
I think this place is a huge bargain. It is a loft so it is supposed to not have a bedroom. Personally, I wouldn't mind sleeping in that "bedroom" because I probably won't spend much time in it anyway since I was given all this space. And he could have turned somewhere into a bedroom with all the available empty space if he wants to.
@@Bubbles-cd9qo why on earth would they want to have kids? Right now they are living the life. And she looks to good. No kids
that mirror's edge bathroom
a wild bendeen!

@@grace-ko1gx THANKS for living in A nice House 🎉👍
This apartment feels more like a gimmick than practical. Might mostly be because of the lack of furniture but it has the vibe of an empty IKEA showroom. It's crazy to me how a 2000 square foot apartment with high ceilings can make me feel so claustrophobic lol
I agree , I feel like this apartment isn’t worth the price
Really high ceiling, but pretty narrow. Yeah I'm with ya. They overplayed the "open concept" bit with the high ceilings, but seems cramped otherwise.
Not to mention how awfully small the bedroom is. You have all this ENORMOUS 2000 sq ft place with 13ft celling, and you manage to make the bedroom 1. wall-less (that is actually AWFUL) and 2. big enough to barely fit just 1 bed. To me, that's idiocy. My 700 sq ft 1 bed apartment has a bedroom that's what feels like twice as big.
It’s giving jealousy
I agree but I think if you lived there you could make it feel more homey. Even regular houses in the super minimalist style make me feel cold and claustrophobic. But idk 🤷🏻♂️
That 'bedroom' was anticlimactic to say the least.
I was going to say yeah I thought it would be small but it's really just for sleeping lol. It's a unique place, glad they like it
Was embarrassing
It’s like they are still sleeping in a tiny cupboard apartment in NYC even though they have a huge apartment. How ironic. It’s a NO for me.
“Built-In” is such a nice way of saying it’s difficult and expensive to repair.
Respect for the guy for getting that apartment but I don't really like it, it's weird to have such a massive kitchen and dining area but such a small master and guest bedroom.
A huge guest bedroom is a waste of space, especially in NYC.
@@williamduke1756 Why so?
the tiny master bedroom makes no sense whatsoever. All of the footprint is open and large and spacious and then the main room is super tiny and open and clausthropobic... the custommade bookshelves make for a great head rest! That's were I envisioned the bedroom, by the bookshelves
agree
And just one bathroom, not even an extra toilet close to the sleeping areas.
All that space and the ‘bedroom’ is just a mattress on the floor 🤦🏻♂️
Also what else does a BEDroom need besides the bed
A queen size bed. I don't see how a king will fit.
@@liamwatts3308 beside a proper bed (queen or king size bed), master bedroom also need two bedside tables ... and in the high end apartment, a sitting area ( a chair with/without a small table)
@@ASIT7TR yeah but this house is different as it is more open and does really have “rooms” so I think the bedroom is small because of that reason. functionally the bedroom works and besides tones of people are complaining about there house as if they care the bedroom is small if they did they wouldn’t of bought the house
@Jonas what else is left to do in that “room”
Good for him, because he's selling these grand places, while he lived in a closet. So, it's wonderful that he is finally able to afford and have a new place!
the fact that this is nearly 4 million dollars is hilarious. You can get a massive modern waterfront property in a good city for half of that. Blows my mind.
Define "good city" hahah
I'm in love with the space it has and how modern it is. But the bedroom is the best part of a home and I was so excited to see it. And omg was I disappointed.
me too! i was genuinely shocked at how bad it was. so small and such a lack of privacy….
Me as well. I was shocked too at how you can’t even stand on the side of the master bed.
It' does not even qualify as a bedROOM. It's a bed on the landing.
yeah ngl my heart dropped when i saw the bed space
This channel is one of the most wholesome channels on YT. So much work and thought put into every video. One of the coolest things about YT is that it gives platform to people like Erik
Lol ..... it's funny how everyone is watching this together rn
The space is stunning for sure. Love the minimal, yet ingenious design of the kitchen in particular. The biggest drawback is the tiny and somewhat open sleeping area. Also, it is a drag to have to walk downstairs to go to the bathroom
It’s built like a large tiny house lol
I don’t understand “vertical storage”. Needing a ladder to reach something sounds... awful
Out of sight, out of mind
Me: *presses on every wall in my apartment to find a secret closet* 😫
SERIOUSLY!

The dog is a great addition to the video!
Came to this channel in 2015 because of a video that said how to live in NYC with 20k/year. The apartment was as small as it gets. Seeing this in 5 years fills my heart with joy
I like this apartment I just don't like how small the 'bedroom' is
Yeah everything was great and grand then when you get to the loft area, it became a typical NY apartment. They also could've taken a foot or two from the first level so the loft can have a bit more headroom.
"I can't even reach the top shelf" as though this is a positive. What an optimist. 🙌
Lol
The doggo makes the tour even better xd
This is the opposite of homey and cozy.
Man, I remember the days when he was with his ex-girlfriend living in that tiny room, congrats Erik, you deserve it brother!
Geez, I’ve been following your channel since the days of you having only 2,000 to 3,000 subscribers and look at you now!! I’ve been super busy with work, so I haven’t had the chance to watch most of your latest content. I just wanted to say that I am absolutely proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished over the years! It’s inspiring to see you go through changes, explore new things, experience setbacks, and finally end up where you want and need to be. Your journey helps me not give up when I face challenges or hit barriers. I love your new apartment and can’t wait to see more. Congratulations to you and Hanna!! ❤️
Why didn’t they make an additional bedroom for guests on the first floor? An why is there no bathroom ups, even a half bath?
You could move the dining room table closer to the kitchen, and wall off a bedroom between the living room area and the family room with TV and bookcase. There is no sound privacy in the loft. You need a room for a guest or child! Otherwise the space is huge and lovely.
Congrats Eric!! To all who is reading this if you put to action a dream you have and dedicated 5 years to it, I have no doubt you will be successful. YES I'm talking to YOU.
Everything was cool until we got to the loft bedroom. Yeah that’s a hard no for me.
EXACTLY the main area was way too big and empty mostly and the bedroom had no windows and was so tiny and claustrophobic
I absolutely love how after doing $100 million dollar apartment tours, you can see how truly happy you are to show your new apartment! Don't get me wrong, I'd kill for your place but just the tone of enjoyment you had... it's great to see.
Well done, mate!
This is a fantasy, every day I dream of living in here.
Awesome choice Erik conover.❤😮
The -top step- I mean "bedroom", ruined it for me.
What else does it need tho
@@liamwatts3308 go look at pictures of a regular, comfortable bedroom and use your common sense.
lol its horrible
@@sandhyamathura my master is the size of his kitchen lol
Can’t explain it but I really like how the proportions of the apartment are totally off (like the large open area, and tiny bedroom/closet)
This is the most unique house apartment I've ever seen in my life and im really excited for house tour after furniture set-up
Imagine paying 10k a month and everyday you’ll have to take turns if you gotta use the bathroom the same time as someone else 😂
i love how humble he is when it comes to the dishwasher 🥺
We looked at a Miehl dishwasher the other day. The sales guy said it was the top of the line from Germany. Oddly, it didn't have a silverware basket. You just lay the silverware on slots in the 3rd rack. We didn't like that and went with a Kitchen-aid.
@@bballard1106 quit a story
AEG is the best. Miele went down a lot in quality in recent years.
And Schultess for laundry machines (if they’re sold in your country).
In the space between the kitchen and dining, you should put like a sitting area with two chairs up against brick wall, kind of facing each other and the white curved wall (like diagonally). This way if your parents or other guests come over and want to join you in the kitchen while y’all are cooking but don’t want to stand, they have a little sitting area.
Such a unique home, live the long hallow and work space separated! Congratulations

It’s not worth it
I’ve never seen such a large hallway u r forced to go through just to get to another super tight hallway to the kitchen. Not only that but why is there a bedroom/office next to the fucking kitchen. Also all the storage is just inconvenient. The way it’s placed, where it’s placed. An example is the fridge and freezer… Is that a joke?! Also there should be a bigger island for the kitchen. It just does not go well with the size of the room. The dining room table should be where the living room table/ The light would compliment the table well and I think that you can really socialize more when the living room is next to the kitchen. Also, the TV should not hide away. It makes it look emptyER. Why is tag bedroom not separated from the loft and stairs? There’s no privacy. This house is just a mess and badly designed. Good job 👏
Exactly my thought.. for this price, the apartment is really bad designed.. people think that "unconventional" is cool.. but not at that extent..
This house is just a huge waste of space...
ikr
100%. And you know they’re paying an obscene amount for 2000 sq ft in NYC.
@@chones_ I swear its beautiful but only to look at, this is not a real home actually.
It's SO awkwardly laid out. Super high ceilings, cramped laundry and bedroom. Weird curvy wall that runs straight down the living area. The most aesthetically pleasing and practically spaced area is the living room IMO.
@@sandhyamathura and not even an enclosed bedroom...it’s just a glorified studio
I couldn't live with a layout like that.
The initial view is wow but it a space for certain types
Yea man I agree, I don't like the look of this place. It's too white, minimalistic and the layout drives me nuts.
@@anonuser4806 it's not even lived in / furnished yet
@@anonuser4806 Yea, they're paying a lot of money for a lot of hallways.
@@rogerrtewwr4723 I was talking about the overall layout of the apartment. Either way, not something I'd personally ever live in.
Sorry not my taste too cold looks like an office space.
what are you apologizing for
@@vaughnamir.6457 she should apologize for apologizing
He literally said they just got the apartment and it still empty because of that so I guess this is nowhere near as how it is going to look with the furniture and other stuff
so much money in to that apartment and the room is a closet 😮 i was waiting for the room tour and i wow in shock on how they sleep in that tiny closet room
Whoever the architect was for this apartment needs to find a new career
Exactly it’s disgusting
Tiny, tight corridor that leads to another tiny corridor and BOOM! Long-ass kitchen. Why? And how can you stock a pantry horizontally in drawers?Surely all everyday cooking utensils, appliances and ingredients should be visible at eye level and easy to reach.
@@sandhyamathura Yeah the kitchen just doesn't seem that functional to me. The stacked horizontal fridge and freezer would bother me, too. They didn't seem very spacious given the size of the place.
AGREE!
If you had the chance to live there would you, yes just be happy for the guy. I understand your criticisms but going to the extent of insulting the architects carer is dipping into the territory of subjective criticism
Just imagine coming from school and stepping into this apartment ...I mean WOW!
I wasn't even sure if that kitchen was a kitchen at first glance
super unique
That editing was very smooth! Nice!
Handleless doors are a pain to use if your hands are wet, but glad they work for you!
I feel like a proud dad that did nothing
😂
🤣
lovely space, just such a shame as the bedroom is like an afterthought, you at least expect to be able to access from both sides.
Erik... I’ve been watching your videos from the very beginning of your TH-cam channel, then I got off TH-cam for a couple of years and today I looked you up. I just have to say I’m so proud of how far you’ve come, and I want to say congratulations on all your success! You deserve it! Sending happy thoughts to you and your little family 🥰
Was some parts of the video cut out? Some part feel abrupt and the video didn’t end correctly lol
Congrats Erik!!! Love your work
Thanks so much!!
@Tayo Aina Luv your work man 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@@Makasituation I checked it out, it cost them about 7 million
@@jaapvergote THANK YOU i have been searching for the listing and price all week
As a fellow Manhattanite, this is the best tour you've ever given. What an intimate, elegant space. Also, Erik, can you tell me the name of the instrumental you used at the end. Love it.
For that overhang on the side of the island without the stools, I’d build a bend with a back, with thick squared cushions. Charcoal corduroy fabric slip cover with snaps for the back of the raw wood bench. Square gusseted depth of 2”. And hav a comparable footrest built in for us shorties. :). People love to hang in the kitchen.
I’d put the TV and couch where the dining room table is so that you don’t have light interference. Then I’d put the dining room table parallel to the windows in the “living room”along with a chaise or longer by the bookshelves. The dining room doesn’t have to be adjacent to the kitchen.
It seems like you‘re showing the apartment your dog and he‘s just like oh nice i like dat
Would love to know what the cost of this apartment is.
Based on current market, I would guess 15k
@@TakanoriGomi a month?
@@xXRsownage not sure if they rent or purchased. but 2000 sq feet in NYC isn't going to be cheap anyway
@@xXRsownage yes ofc!
Started from the bottom now we’re here. Proud to see where you’ve got to pal. Followed your story for years now. An inspiration.
if you renovated to extend the loft in like A bridge manor over the dinning room you could have way more space uptop and the dinning area wouldnt feel as empty, and you would maintain the high ceilings in the dinning room and living room, it would also be cool to be able to over look your kitchen and living area
Your dog is the cutest! The real centre piece of all the rooms.
AGREED!
Congrats Erik! You have come a long way since we started watching your channel back then when you had 30K Subscribers! Well deserved 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you guys!!
This is like a horror movie scenario with hidden doors leading to hidden rooms inside the walls and people secretly live in there and steal your pizza at night.
Like Parasite 😭
I know that pizza story
lmao
I'd love to see the furnished version? Was there an update video?
we have freezer drawers! they're great
I just love Theo. He has so much personality. This apartment is breathtaking.
Yesss manifest the life you desire!!! I'm so happy to see this it reminds me that it can still happen if you continue to get out of your own way, believe and work hard!!! Blessings, love, and happy manifesting to all reading this!!!
“If you continue to get of your own way” I like how u said that, that’s real
“This is why we can’t have nice things!!” sounds like me at my house 😭😭🤣 she’s so cute aw
I was expecting a huge master bedroom the apartment is nice master bedroom not do much ,, but congrats
I think it's great you found a place you like. For me personally, the long corridor would've been a no-go. Vertical storage wouldn't be my thing either. I think the kitchen looks neat though, besides the view. For that price, I'd want to see some skyline, lol.
I was waiting for this video since you announced it
