Bed, wardrobe & washer stack in Mediterranean tiny apartment

- With only 25 square meters (270 square feet) to work with, Yuda Naimi decided to think cubically when redesigning a tiny apartment in Barcelona’s Raval neighborhood. Taking advantage of high ceilings, he created a furniture bed perched high enough to provide: a double bed, two nightstands with electricity outlets, a deep cupboard for hanging clothes, 11 drawers, a washing machine and ample storage space for the flat.
The bed cube can also be partially disassembled to provide accessories to the rest of the space: “Each side of the furniture has multiple purposes: a shelf for drinks or extra bench placed next to the dining table, or the stairs/drawers that lead to the bed which can also be used as seats, becoming part of the adjacent entertaining area.”
Naimi also streamlined the structure of the apartment by removing a false ceiling to reveal a vaulted ceiling (traditional “Catalan vaults”) and a brick wall. On the final wall he discovered hidden space; with this extra 5 centimeters he had enough to create a “function wall” of 5 nooks. The first houses a recessed bookshelf, the second hides the television behind repurposed shutters and the third is a sunken mirror that reflects and enlarges the space.
At the back of the flat, the kitchen appears when needed out of 2 nooks: one is a recessed cabinet that reveals a sink and opposite this is a simple wooden cabinet that hides a refrigerator and stove.

Anyone else suddenly become addicted to these sorts of videos?
I know the storage unit was meant to be the showpiece but I really love: the ceiling, exposed brick wall and the huge shuttered window!
Damn some people are blessed with creative genes😁. The developer....not the idiot that likes hacking accounts. Get a life.
When he closed the shutters, I thought the lighting in the living area was impressive - it changed the whole mood.
This apartment has such a lovely feel to it... amazing! It doesn’t feel like you’re in the middle of a busy city... it feels like you are travelling in time!
One of my favorite designs. I absolutely love the ceiling and brick wall. I understand why he tucked all the storage and washer in bed unit. The unit divides the space nicely without destroying the sense of overall space the way a loft bed would. If you put in a Murphy bed and closets on walls it would look like a bowling alley. His design defines three rooms. I would recommend two identical rectangular person tables in front of tv and mirror that could be joined together or end to end for larger gatherings. And kitchen doors that slide into walls. Or maybe a nice shade that rolls up. I would center the sink so you could have dirty dishes on one side and drain rack on other. Love the doors. Would enjoy living in such an historic building in a central location. It does give a tree house effect. Well done!
Parsons tables. Autocorrect, ;)
I would put casters on the unit in front of the washer. Looked a bit cumbersome. Overall a very functional small space. This channel really helps the masses appreciate minimalism.Thank you Kristen and all you do.
Agree.
I like this layout and the ideas . The thing with micro apartment you need a high ceiling to make it work.
@@tryemc3026 Totally agree!
I would moved the washer away from the end of the bed and towards the wall next to the sink to avoid a potential fall. As it is, that "false step" could be a safety issue since it isn't fixed in place, especially for guest who are not familiar with the furniture.
Or find minimalism ridiculous unless it's all you can afford.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Also, this is poor use of space. With those high ceilings he could have easily used the vertical space.
I love these small, micro apartment videos.
Having seen this, I am still amazed to see some larger apartments being advertised with shared bathroom facilities and no washing machine.
@@pau1976 It’s mostly in older houses, or even old shops, that have been converted from single family homes into (studio) apartments, and because of profit margins, the landlords feel no incentive to invest in plumbing for each unit they rent out.
This is renovated for the owner. If you are having apartments to rent out, how the heck do you install the plumbing and washer right under the bed? That is so customized that it would greatly restrict the flexibility for a lot of renters.
In addition, you should wait until the plumbing/hoses age a bit and see how it difficult it is to service those items.
@@pau1976 I've options to have it under the kitchen counter, in place of a large oven in places of small size.
@@pau1976 It’s not just planning approval, which is important to ensure safe homes, but as is shown in the video, with a small space, you can plan for all the minimum required for a self-contained dwelling if you allow your imagination some leeway. The kitchen could have had a cooker & oven, but as was mentioned, the owner is an artist who also uses the place as a place to show his work, so kitchen was not at the top of his list of priorities, but a washing machine of his own was. I guess that is luxury of being the owner, as opposed to being the tenant.
I know it's usual specially for north america but it triggers me so bad the idea of having to leave my apartment to wash my clothes, dude I'm lazy af
I currently live in a tiny apartment and have binge-watched a lot of these tiny apt/homes here on TH-cam and this is easily in my Top 5 as far as space utilization. I personally love the placement of the bed. Having seen a lot of these straight/long studio layouts, I appreciate it when the bed does not directly look into the kitchen. It still nice to have that separation and this apt does this effectively.
love this storage idea. Only change i'd makes putting the moveable until on some wort of wheels/casters to make for easier moving.
totally agree with that idea
With locks
Great explanation from the host, thank you!
I agree. I enjoyed hearing the thought process behind the designer’s choices, and some alternate uses for the spaces he created. He has a gentle, calm voice and his English was really very good.
"Lazy door", love the name!
Yes! Hahha
I also liked the part when he was talking about the kitchen. "We put that piece here, so if you leave the kitchen in a mess, the apartment will still feel comfortable" 😅
I lived for a while in that neighborhood, it is very nice, except for the noise. So I can understand why they needed double windows for better noise insulation.
about how much is an apartment that size worth in Barcelona? usd? thanks
@@eljimberinoq5518 Sorry, have no clue, I stayed there years ago, but Barcelona is huge and the neighborhood in the video is in the middle of Barcelona proper, so the prices must be very high, while the apartments are old and not so good by modern standards. You can hear everything from outside and inside the building.
But you could get something cheaper, better and more modern on the outskirts of the city, in quieter neighborhoods. The city has very good public transportation, so it's easy and quick to get anywhere.
@@eljimberinoq5518 For a studio like that you could pay maybe 900/1000€, in USA dollars something like $1160
Hmmm you can buy 1 bed apartment in Barcelona for around 200k euros
Loved this one. So thoughtful, natural, and beautiful. His point about having the lines of the glass and the windows match up were really eye opening to me as well.
I love how everything is so intentional, so thought out. It is minimal without sterility and really provides for a functional living space.
I love the design...so efficient, and full of character!!
Many brilliant ideas.I'm amazed by the way sink was hidden
What an innovative use of space.
I really hope that there is a balcony outside of that window.
Perfect for a single person.
Bravo
Loved the outro collage. I have watched your channel grow and your children spring up like weeds. You will cherish this footage when you get older.
The only "missing" thing from this apartment is stove. Overall, nice design!
That's what I was thinking! Where do you cook anything? Not even a microwave to heat up food.🤦
Generally, people eat out. There’s a place to eat every other building. It’s a cultural thing.
In the description it says the stove is under the kitchen counter next to the fridge which they did not show on air. Sad bc I wanted to see the stove too.
There's probably a hot plate somewhere. Not uncommon in Europe.
I actually hv a similar set up in my kitchen. my cooker is an induction device, it is from ikea. I plug it in when I need it and put it away when Im done. for smaller things, I have a small toaster oven. I have an aversion to things occupying real estate when it is not used, so my bed is hidden as well. a bed or a stove is beautiful when in use, but when it is not, I would rather not have to look at it, or having it take up space.
I love your channel. I tune out the Whole mess of our world and relax. Thank you
Well planned. Love the old leather couch and the bathroom sink!
Its amazing how people can turn such tiny spaces into such beautiful, functional places to live and thrive.
Your videos have become one of the highlights of my week (after week). Keep up the great job!

More small apartments please!
You certainly have great an informative video's! Thank you! The one thing I've noticed is these tables in most of the tiny living spaces. Why wouldn't they be space saving tables where they can be made smaller when not in use? Ones with flip up sides only take up 5 or so inches, or leave one leaf up, even. They would be so much better to work around and walk around, plus a lot of them have drawers in the center for table ware or crafts! And another handy item is the rolling kitchen cart.
I love this design!!
There are so many great projects in Barcelona. Any scale! Amazing city, amazing people. I miss this place so much!
Love this place.
This guy is gorgeous. I could listen to him read the phone book for an hour.
I am beyond amazed at how well they did it. Amazing.
So beautiful. Love the inclusion of original elements. Sink in a closet? Genius!
What a lovely house with a big heart :))))
I loved it. It look fantastic, has literally everything and more, so spacious and a lot of storage space. Fantastic.
That's a really amazing design. I could live there
Since I like to cook - a lot - it would be hell for me.
Talk about multifunctional! Huda did an amazing job with this small space. 👍🏾
Perfect for city living, especially once COVID-19 has been eradicated & it’s it safe to utilise the eateries & bars of the neighbourhood once again. 👏
Such great ideas and execution. What a delightful home.
I love this design.
Fabulous, love it, especially the floor near the settee and those amazing balcony doors x thank you xx
Very nice flat 👍🏻
Very beautiful. So much light and air.
Brilliant! Such creativity.
Attractive, made of wood, and dual purpose furniture/storage Love, Love, Love it. Thank you for sharing - we need more of this
What a beautiful build for a tiny room. The space is very well thought out and great use of the old features in an updated modern space. Functual and extremely tasteful. It has it all. :)
Love this new video. The innovative sneakiness of finding space for all the amenities a modern person needs is so cool.
Wow, this is really an outstanding planning of the space! I also feel nostalgic seeing pictures of the streets around. When I studied in Barcelona, I was living near that area.
Such a great use of space! Very functional. Makes it look much bigger than it is
Love this apartment! Could definitely be happy there.
Absolutely beautiful
That is a gorgeous apt.
I like the apt but i cant stop staring at him... Love indeed 😍
The male Spaniards' beauty is underappreciated. The Latin lover used to be very popular. I hope we return to that soon. Hollywood needs more Antonio Banderas and Daniel Gonzalez sexiness ( go drool at Gwen Stefani's "We're Cool" video now.)
Nice apartment btw very clever design and great host.
A beautifully thought out and finished apartment
Why am I loving this unit so much?
It is imperfect tho but still
Sleeping on your laundry machine - well that's a first!
I mean u dont run it at night…
@@el_micha I know plenty of people start a load of laundry before they go to sleep, especially very busy people...
@@_w_w_ Interesting, I think I don´t know any. Apart from living in a flatshare with ppl who didn´t care about others (rude) or who got bad timeplanning.
Where´s the washer in ur friends home? Do they live in houses or rented flats?
@@el_micha I find it odd that you think it's all that unusual to start a load of laundry late at night. Plenty of people have demanding jobs that get home very late. I do it all the time... especially with newer HE washers, it's fairly quiet. It's very presumptuous of you to consider that poor time planning or inconsiderate when you don't have understanding of how other people live their lives.
@@_w_w_ Ok fair enough, so there are different use cases from what I know.
How about my questions? (You didn´t answer any of them.) Are the washers in the flat, in a basement/cellar? Owned house or rented flat in community buildings?
Love the sink. Best way to hide dirty plates.😁
Absolutely beautiful!!
The french door window is absolutely stunning!
Smart-constructed and comfortable space for living and enjoying your being. Thanks for inspiration.
What a beautiful design.
I love the atmosphere of this place when you close the shutters. Very cosy place.
Love it! Absolutely love it ❤💕
Very nice. Love the scalloped wall.
Great work!
I love the idea of putting a big art canvas in front of the bed. Great for company and for you. I’m happiest surrounded by art.
I like Yuda here for designing a nice spacious space. Except I feel if you like to cook then the kitchen is small but then again it's all space. This guy so chill talking about it design
Really beautiful
The floor is absolutely gorgeous!!
Very good design. Love it
Very clever and creative indeed!!👍
Very cool. Love the bed storage.
Absolutely amazing!!!!!
Fabulous window design!
Clever way of utilizing every inch of an apartment.
I love how the little tiles are circled in the bigger tiles to mark where people sit, it makes it feel special and cosy. Maybe like people have gathered there a lot and the grass is worn. Compare that to big grey tiles, which have a place but... .
The storage is so clever.
This is a work of art. Plus, functional too. The modular design is incredible. The ceiling, wall, little spaces here and there that serve as mini cabinets and drawers are 😳! Just at loss for words.
This is nitpicking but accessing that washing machine is quite inconvenient. But i can live with it. Props to the team that made this happen!
I love the multi functionality of many areas... it's a beatiful design beyond it. Pure functional Art
Very nice apartment and great use of imagination.
Very beautiful
I love the sounds of your videos.
Thank you for sharing beautiful video
Beautiful
the bed is actually a great design piece!
Finally! Some decent wood! Not that plywood or MDF garbage!
I love the bed very cool
I REALLY love the Q-Bert style bed ♥️♥️
The bed arrangement is genius, I could live there
That window is awesome ❣🏡
I love this!
Love it. The only thing I would change is the table. I would have something that you pull down from the wall, otherwise fabulous.
Hermoso. Todos los detalles pensados para alcanzar la máxima funcionalidad posible en un espacio reducido. Me encanta
Beautiful and smart design 👏🏼🫶🏼
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
home for one person. practical and good style.
Holy cow! Those ceilings!
Love the bed solution
some things I love, the height/volume of the space makes it feel so cosy. as mentioned, it feels like a safe treehouse, with everything one might need.
the only nitpick is the 10 - 15cm protrusion of the bed build from the entranceway. it would have been so beautiful if it was flushed to the wall, so you have full light pouring in instead of the visual obstruction.
Loving the shows, thanks for being part of our family.
Brilliant!
❤️ Beautiful Home ❤️
