"The furniture pieces are multifunctional and custom made...such as the chair that can be used as a clothes hanger" 😂 Only an architect can get away with saying that.
Haha… I was thinking that. Maybe I have a different view of multi-function. For me a table is a table, a book shelf is a book shelf … and the only other thing here was a sofa, but maybe that was also a bed?
As a disabled person, I appreciate the rounded edges on the tables. It seems like a small thing, but when you are prone to falls, this design feature makes this a pleasant place to visit.
my only problem would be not enough storage - mainly for clothes :/ but it is still doable, I probably would be able to put something across the kitchen and exchange table for smaller/expandable :P
@@MaraMara89 You could definitely make storage behind/above the couch and as a small wall instead of the balustrade over the living space. But this is for minimal possessions/consumption lifestyle.
I love her commentary at the end. 100% agree that communities feel alienated when politicians decide to tear down old buildings and start again. We need to revitalize communities by mixing classes so that way we create more liveable, richer, and vibrant neighborhoods.
It’s a huge problem in my suburb. There was a bunch of old warehouses that got torn down that could have been interesting conversions. Cookie cutter apartment blocks in their place :/
Last night I was watching a video regarding this issue, it's called "Why City Design is important ( and why I hate Houston"). It was good and heartbreaking at the same time.
Although there's only one window, it looks so light, airy and open because of the white paint throughout the apartment. Honestly, it looks like one of those Japanese/Korean loft apartments, but you can stand on the 2nd floor.
It's funny how new buildings can look cold and uninviting, but refurbished old buildings end up looking homey and exclusive, even if the interior design is the same.
While I wish they could have kept the spiral staircase (I love how they look), I respect the need to make the space more liveable and functional. The space was beautifully re-made. I also agree with the designer's social commentary. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I agree as it was just beautiful and evocative of a bygone era. The stairs are sterile and cupboards under-utilised. As long as the home owner likes it though...
When I visited Buenos Aires in 2004 I fell in love with the architecture of all the old buildings. I almost felt like I was in Europe. In Rio the buildings were being torn down every 10 years to build higher, due to lack of buildable space. A walking tour in Buenos Aires is a cornucopia of interesting doors, balconies and facades. I am so grateful for channels like this. TFS.
This is a stunning redo of what was once dark, uninviting and cramped to open, light, functional and visually appealing. Great job by all involved in this project.
I like it, beautiful detail. The only thing I would find annoying is having the fridge in a cupboard i.e. having to open a door to then open a door. From a UX point of view this is not great as a fridge door is one of the most frequently used doors in a living space. I would likely either leave that particular cupboard door open all of the time, which would break the flow of the space, or just remove that cupboard door entirely and fit an ingerated fridge in a way that is sympathetic to the rest of the minimal/clean aesthetic. You could keep the space above the fridge as a conventional cupboard/pantry or even put an integrated washing machine above and hide that with a door, as it is used not as often as the fridge and would help contain the noise during operation.
“Hiding” refrigerators is very common practice, especially when you’re aiming for a clean design. Having the actual fridge showing would break up the seamlessness of the interior and introduce visual clutter, which in a small space is something to avoid. A simple solution would be to attach the fridge door to the outside door. The current setup also facilitates appliance replacement making it more futureproof.
@@il-ganna that‘s exactly what integrated fridges are for. They don’t have normal fridge doors but are fitted with the same cabinet doors that are used elsewhere in the kitchen. That’s a much cleaner solution than to stick a cabinet door to the door of a generic fridge. Their cooling is also optimized for being inside a cabinet. They are a bit more expensive but not overly so, and they can also be replaced if they break.
This is the best small space I’ve ever seen!!! No need to fold things after use, no need to set-up something to use. The stairs are safe & you can actually climb itu without worry. This is just gold!!! Totallly liveable small space!
Love the stairs with the cabinets as opposed to putting a sofa there. The bathroom on the mezzanine looks so luxurious and inviting. Perfect place for a young couple in the city. I know I have said if before - but we need more of this kind of living...
she's so right for saying that neighbourhoods need to be mix class and mix use! that's one of the main points of urban sociology, richer social capital of neighbourhoods means a better life for the residents and better opportunities. i love when architecture combines and understands sociology
This apartment is so lovely and airy. I appreciate the frosted glass at the bottom of the large window as it's still adds openness but you don't feel like the whole world can just look in
Beautiful, stylish, open and airy. That couch !! Two toilets !! No having to climb a ladder to go to bed !! This is one of the best spaces we've seen on this channel. I loved her philosophies, too, about what makes a community. Thanks.
Absolutely gorgeous, I love it! If it was me living here though, I would've much preferred a washer/dryer space rather than a second toilet on the main floor, or maybe even a closet space, but I don't think the 2nd toilet is very needed in such a small space, but that's just my personal preferences, I understand that for some people it's a priority
its actually a very common thing to have in argentina, a toilet designed only for guests or easy access for when you really need to go and cant go upstairs lol
The place is surrounded by laundromats. So that's not needed. The second toilet is more important in my view. Hate running up the stairs when you gotta go.
@@TeeBoyd88 yeah I know, but to me personally I couldn't stand having to get out of the house to do my laundry lmao it's a priority for me, but I also totally get that it isn't for some people
The apartment and design ideas were fantastic. Not sure why everyone wants to say how THEY would change things. How about a few compliments on a job well done.
@@sampuatisamuel9785 I literally did compliment the appartment first thing lmao And people are sharing their opinions on how they would want it because when you make products designed for other people, it's nice to hear their feedback on how convenient it is for them and also what people would typically want. It's a form of constructive criticism. And it's interesting to hear other people's opinions, I mean, this is a comments section, it's kind of the point. And tbh in my comment I was more making fun of me for being so strict on my criteria of "having a washer/dryer IN unit". I totally get that it's not an important criteria for other people. It might also be a cultural difference, the place where you live has a lot of influence on people's priorities for housing.
The elongated staircase, maximizing the area under the stairs and the function of the mezzanine which is converted into a bedroom, is the best decision and the soul of this design.
I loved visiting Argentina so much. Such a beautiful country with great people. It's a shame getting there from Australia takes so long. So many argentinians look like super models 😄
Aw thank you! Muah!!! I am from Palermo, now living in Seattle, USA. 6 hours to Miami, then 9 hours to Argentina. I believe that I will visit my country again in ...20 years.
@@dogbsas por que taaaaanto tiempo..? que bien te felicito que puedas experimentar vivir en otro lugar del mundo 🙌 pero siempre bienvenidos a Argentina 🙌🇦🇷❤
I love the way the designer explains things clearly and with purpose! Her designs certainly have intention and proper execution in this project. Can't wait to see what she does next!
Good tour. Thank you for SHOWING the apartment. Its so refreshing. So many of the 'Never Too Small' episodes are 20 minutes of the designers talking about themselves.
This is a good example of transforming small spaces, she made good use of the large window to give natural illumination in all spaces (including the bathroom with glass doors), I think she developed good spaces for everyone within limitations, giving common areas suitable for visitors and comfortable private areas for residents. Great restoration.
I love the openness and privacy aspect of the place. You can enjoy the sunshine but don’t have to worry a perv can see you. Okay! That’s a major bonus in my book. Also the cute powder room downstairs… mahooosive bonus, and your friends don’t have to go upstairs and see your room. I think the owner will enjoy their home for a long time to come 🥰
The old architecture made the city more unique and lovely. I like they keep it. Also like that stairs with a lot of storage space. The bathroom is simple but so pretty.
I love the tranaformation from dark to light-filled space along with a more utilitarian design. While I love seeing spiral staircases, they can be a pain - whether going up by yourself or moving things (or worse, furniture) up and down the bedroom. I also like the designer's philosphy of repurposing old buildings to give them a new lease on life instead of outright demolishing them. The hallmark of good design, after all, is transforming living spaces and I think the design achieved that.
I really like this space design (for once). I really like/appreciate that they installed "real" stairs and not a ladder. Only thing I'd do differently is to make the lower and middle fantasy glass panels of the bathroom wall/doors frosted/more opaque for better privacy when someone is in the bedroom while someone else is in the bathroom (on the toilet)... And the placement of the flat screen TV. Unless it swings out from the wall the angle for folks sitting on the sofa will be really odd and hard to watch. This is one is still lovely, functional and practical.
Wow! Elegant minimalistic and serene!! I love it! Definitely one of the better uses of small space. It has everything without having to open up, rearrange or collapse anything. Even that staircase is generous and looks safe! I even love the hustle and bustle noises living on the street would bring! Well done to the architect! I would happily live there!
Buenos Aires es una de mis ciudades favoritas, mi sueño es vivir allá. Me encanta cómo en cada rincón se pueden conseguir cosas como estas y lo mucho que se incorpora a disfrutar también de la ciudad a través de ese ventanal. Excelente vídeo.
I've been watching your videos since the very beginning. Seeing one of your videos made in my neighborhood in Buenos Aires is just incredible. Thank you!
Sorry, but is very unergonomic to brush your teeth with the shelf in front of you. Also to put the soap on the shelf. It's nice for sure. But not practical.
Everything is beautiful here, the city, the building, the apartment ❤ Also I particularly like how much light the apartment has, that one window illuminates the entire place
Very clean aesthetic. Amazing job! I think the building needs to hire her for the rest of the building. The lobby floor, corridors, front doors looks like it needs work too.
The multifunctional furniture is very important to create an open space, also even though there's only one window, the whole apartment looks very bright.
Clave proteger la identidad de la hermosísima ciudad de Buenos Aires evitando la demolición estos hermosos edificios casi centenarios. Que el negocio inmobiliario no se coma la belleza.
Loved the wonderfully light and minimal aesthetic. If it's meant as a full-time primary residence, I personally would need more storage than what was shown.
usually older buildings like this one has its own private storage in the underground or last floor, that were originally created as a way to storage luggage/furniture that is not in use for residents
Love how the apt improved, so bright and looks much more spacious. I'll change the furniture (L shaped sofa and dinner table), get a bigger fridge and loose the cabinet door. I will also change the half bath and put a laundry and dryer units even if there are plenty of laundrimats around. And the material of the doors in the concealed stairs seems a little bit flimsy so I'll put sometjing sturdier and set the TV somewhere around thata area...
i feel like the toilet was a great idea, here in argentina dryers are extremely uncommon to find, i've never met one person that has one (that is not a laundrymat), we just use the sun and sadly this appartment has no balcony to hang the clothes to dry and having the hanging clothes inside would occupy a lot of room
Loved almost everything about this apartment. Having a small toilet on the first floor and a full bathroom on the second floor is a great call. Only thing that annoys me is that the TV isn't facing the couch. Probably not that comfortable to watch.
The huge window was the biggest asset of this apartment, and they took good advantage of it. However, whoever lives here would need to have a very minimalist lifestyle especially since there is very limited storage space (as a single woman I'm pretty sure all my clothes wouldn't fit in the very small wardrobe inside the bedroom).
@@vmurt there aren't that many airbnb in argentina in general to asume it's one, i belive this is just a regular appartment that someone was lucky to buy and renovate, also renovations are not cheap at all so probably who lives here does not spend much money in material stuff and probably already finished collage. its located in the middle of a full of energy part of the city where you are almost not even want to stay inside all day
Es curioso que aún no he visto un video de México. Este proyecto me parece muy hermoso y muy bien planeado. El mezzanine como recámara con ese baño me parecen algo hermoso y muy funcional. More of this please NTS, and thank you for sharing these magnificent contents. 🙌🏻
Sos de Mexico Julio? yo sigo a un arquitecto de alli, y me encantan los proyectos que muestran. Nunca departamentos chiquitos pero bueno, eso es un detalle. El se llama Abaham Cota Paredes en caso de que lo quieras buscar, ademas su acento me encanta jajaja :)
@@dogbsas Hola, Curiosamente si sé de el, no estoy seguro si yo lo sigo o el me sigue en Instagram, porque tenemos un amigo en común. Revisaré y le preguntaré sobre sus videos. Y si, te contesto; soy de México, vivo en Tijuana, la frontera de mi país con California. Saludos.
Beautiful. I love storage stairs, that's such a neat idea to use space. As pretty as the red metal spiral staircase looked, it's not usable for a living space. I would be interested where it is now? 😉 I bet they could sell it off to a new place where it can shine and is useful. And I love the fact that you don't have to move or install things before you can use them. 💕
I love how there’s a huge window on the ground floor and it has no bars. Indicating no one is likely to smash it. That wouldn’t be possible in US major cities.
Unfortunatelly Palermo (and a very small part of Palermo) is like that. The rest of Buenos Aires, is a place where you have to be very cautious about your security.
The window does have bars! At first I thought the same as you and, as a Buenos Aires neighbor, I kept wondering why on earth they decided on that. But If you pause at 6:13 you'll be able to see that the bars match exactly the window partitions (so cleverly done!). Having no bars on a street-facing + ground-level apartment in Buenos Aires would be suicidal, to say the least...
@@severine1789 toda mi vida vivi en buenos aires, y me afanaron ya varias veces. a no ser que te vayas a un pueblito o vivas en pocos barrios muy exclusivos, buenos aires es un quilombo y bastante inseguro
If I were to live here, I'd probably put an exhaust in the kitchen. I cook a lot and the steam produced from that will make the white paint chip and discolor.
Thank you, NTS! You made my week! 🥰 I also love love love this aprtment's design. Highly functional and works well for a couple with a dog. 🥰 again, thank you! 😍😍😍
Love so many aspects of this place, would be fun to live in! As someone who watches tv though not sure that set up works. On the couch looking at the stairs is pretty boring too. Perhaps making a sort of wall on top of the stairs could be good to put a tv on and make an interesting design?

What is the length and width of that bathroom, please? Many thanks.
Would you provide a platform where clients can upload their layouts and receive ideas on the interior design ?☺️
That hot plate REALLY? That is too small even for the cubby house!
I wont do any favor to you. Just ask for hellp.
A chair in the main bedroom that can be used as a clothes hanger... I think we've all had *that* chair
And "main bedroom"... is there another one?

It's 474 sq feet. More than enough space. The designers that make the compromises you mention are often working with half that.

It’s a huge problem in my suburb. There was a bunch of old warehouses that got torn down that could have been interesting conversions. Cookie cutter apartment blocks in their place :/
It’s probably because it’s easier and cheaper to make from scratch than convert an old building unfortunately.
Last night I was watching a video regarding this issue, it's called "Why City Design is important ( and why I hate Houston").
It was good and heartbreaking at the same time.
I fully agree here.. Keep fighting it.. Everyone.
Her political and social talk ist good. The redesign of the apartment not so much
Although there's only one window, it looks so light, airy and open because of the white paint throughout the apartment. Honestly, it looks like one of those Japanese/Korean loft apartments, but you can stand on the 2nd floor.
I was thinking that too!
It’s also a huge nearly twi story window
I loved her philosophy on repurposing and how cities should feel on a social level!
Yes! Would like to hear more from her! 😎✌🏼
It's funny how new buildings can look cold and uninviting, but refurbished old buildings end up looking homey and exclusive, even if the interior design is the same.

Que increíble ver un departamento de argentina en NTS
Beautiful design. I could easily live here!
Everything is beautiful here, the city, the building, the apartment ❤
Also I particularly like how much light the apartment has, that one window illuminates the entire place
The new staircase is so much better. I can't stand spiral staircase and love the frosted glass panel for the bathroom. Absolutely love it
Loving the Argentina episodes!
Love from Argentina
I wish I could afford an architect. Geniuses!
How impressive! I have never felt so much love and care from the architect; she is on a mission and I’m thankful.
I really appreciate Ms. Burton’s approach and philosophy on this project and on neighborhood living. Great episode - thank you!
2nd floor bathroom in the loft is amazing!
Seen many beautiful setups on this channel, but this is the first one I can see myself living in. Brilliant use of the space.
My favorite place in this one is the bathroom design 🤩 the texture makes cool
The real definition of minimalist. 👌
Love all the clean lines in the apartment structure, built-in and furniture. Thanks for the video NTS team!
Stupendo magnifico bellissimo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very clean aesthetic. Amazing job! I think the building needs to hire her for the rest of the building. The lobby floor, corridors, front doors looks like it needs work too.
The multifunctional furniture is very important to create an open space, also even though there's only one window, the whole apartment looks very bright.
Clave proteger la identidad de la hermosísima ciudad de Buenos Aires evitando la demolición estos hermosos edificios casi centenarios. Que el negocio inmobiliario no se coma la belleza.
siii!! me da mucha pena cuando voy por la ciudad y veo antiguas fachadas tapiadas para ser todo demolido :(
Oh, what she said at the end was everything. ❤️
Loved the wonderfully light and minimal aesthetic. If it's meant as a full-time primary residence, I personally would need more storage than what was shown.
usually older buildings like this one has its own private storage in the underground or last floor, that were originally created as a way to storage luggage/furniture that is not in use for residents
I love her philosophy on neighborhoods. I completely agree with her.
I bookmarked this one as inspiration for future planning ideas. Thank you for your work, ideas, and thoughts, Carol.
Functional, subtle and stylish.Loved this space.
Love how the apt improved, so bright and looks much more spacious. I'll change the furniture (L shaped sofa and dinner table), get a bigger fridge and loose the cabinet door. I will also change the half bath and put a laundry and dryer units even if there are plenty of laundrimats around. And the material of the doors in the concealed stairs seems a little bit flimsy so I'll put sometjing sturdier and set the TV somewhere around thata area...
i feel like the toilet was a great idea, here in argentina dryers are extremely uncommon to find, i've never met one person that has one (that is not a laundrymat), we just use the sun and sadly this appartment has no balcony to hang the clothes to dry and having the hanging clothes inside would occupy a lot of room
This might be my favorite NTS re-design and renovation so far!
I love the bathroom ! Such a great idea. It seems so much larger than what it is
I really like the design of this, especially the bathroom in the bedroom.
Loved almost everything about this apartment. Having a small toilet on the first floor and a full bathroom on the second floor is a great call. Only thing that annoys me is that the TV isn't facing the couch. Probably not that comfortable to watch.
Brilliant design! I just adore the bathroom - it's narrow yet, bright and beautiful.
Brilliant! Superb design. Inner city living as it should be. And on the ground floor! One window. Excellent! When can I move in!
Love it. I could live there.
The huge window was the biggest asset of this apartment, and they took good advantage of it. However, whoever lives here would need to have a very minimalist lifestyle especially since there is very limited storage space (as a single woman I'm pretty sure all my clothes wouldn't fit in the very small wardrobe inside the bedroom).
Yes, this was done with a minimalist lifestyle in mind.
@@vmurt there aren't that many airbnb in argentina in general to asume it's one, i belive this is just a regular appartment that someone was lucky to buy and renovate, also renovations are not cheap at all so probably who lives here does not spend much money in material stuff and probably already finished collage. its located in the middle of a full of energy part of the city where you are almost not even want to stay inside all day
It would be a nice vacation apartment though.
Live and let live
@@vmurtI doubt it. No one would order custom made furniture designs (which are VERY expensive in Argentina) to furnish an Airbnb apartment.
Probably the best one I've seen. So simple but incredible.
Lovely, I could live there.
What she said about renovation and integration of public spaces is great
Brilliant design concept and execution. We need more of this!
Es curioso que aún no he visto un video de México. Este proyecto me parece muy hermoso y muy bien planeado. El mezzanine como recámara con ese baño me parecen algo hermoso y muy funcional. More of this please NTS, and thank you for sharing these magnificent contents. 🙌🏻
Sos de Mexico Julio? yo sigo a un arquitecto de alli, y me encantan los proyectos que muestran. Nunca departamentos chiquitos pero bueno, eso es un detalle. El se llama Abaham Cota Paredes en caso de que lo quieras buscar, ademas su acento me encanta jajaja :)

Hola,
Curiosamente si sé de el, no estoy seguro si yo lo sigo o el me sigue en Instagram, porque tenemos un amigo en común. Revisaré y le preguntaré sobre sus videos. Y si, te contesto; soy de México, vivo en Tijuana, la frontera de mi país con California. Saludos.
Beautiful. I love storage stairs, that's such a neat idea to use space. As pretty as the red metal spiral staircase looked, it's not usable for a living space. I would be interested where it is now? 😉 I bet they could sell it off to a new place where it can shine and is useful. And I love the fact that you don't have to move or install things before you can use them. 💕
The terrazzo is so beautiful in the space!
I love how there’s a huge window on the ground floor and it has no bars. Indicating no one is likely to smash it.
That wouldn’t be possible in US major cities.
Unfortunatelly Palermo (and a very small part of Palermo) is like that. The rest of Buenos Aires, is a place where you have to be very cautious about your security.
The window does have bars! At first I thought the same as you and, as a Buenos Aires neighbor, I kept wondering why on earth they decided on that.
But If you pause at 6:13 you'll be able to see that the bars match exactly the window partitions (so cleverly done!). Having no bars on a street-facing + ground-level apartment in Buenos Aires would be suicidal, to say the least...
@@guillermotaylor6506 That's not true
@@severine1789 toda mi vida vivi en buenos aires, y me afanaron ya varias veces. a no ser que te vayas a un pueblito o vivas en pocos barrios muy exclusivos, buenos aires es un quilombo y bastante inseguro
Loving the design with childhoid memoires! The terrazo.. the herringbone parquet..
However, if can conserve the olden stairs would be amazing..
If I were to live here, I'd probably put an exhaust in the kitchen. I cook a lot and the steam produced from that will make the white paint chip and discolor.
Thank you, NTS! You made my week! 🥰 I also love love love this aprtment's design. Highly functional and works well for a couple with a dog. 🥰 again, thank you! 😍😍😍
Love so many aspects of this place, would be fun to live in! As someone who watches tv though not sure that set up works. On the couch looking at the stairs is pretty boring too. Perhaps making a sort of wall on top of the stairs could be good to put a tv on and make an interesting design?
Until now definitely one of my favourite never too small apartment! I love it.
Gorgeous space! A small apartment yet not claustrophobic.
It would be an honour to live here!
