Architect - Studio Piet Boon @ pietboon.com/ - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Pied-à-terre is a small living unit, e.g., apartment or condominium, usually located in a large city some distance away from an individual's primary residence.
This is good to know. I initially thought pied-à-terre = studio apartment, meaning the apartment would be someone's primary home. But if this is more a place to sleep when the owner's are away from their home for work/culture etc, some design choices (like the tiny kitchen, and space-stealing bed) make a bit more sense.
I personally found this design lacked some of the cleverness of your other videos. There were a lot of luxury materials/finishes, but not many innovative ideas for storage/small space living.
One thing I liked was the tucked-away bathroom storage, but I wonder how much additional storage would have been available if it was open storage (instead of the small recessed cupboards)?
Um. I know.
This goes against the concept of Never Too Small, it's not really meant to be fully lived in or tackling the problem of not having a lot of space
Sounds like a privately owned hotel room.
@Jakub Janiszewski Can't I still be someone's personal pied-à-terre, but still only used for a grand total of three months of the year - scattered throughout the year- and then rented as an Airbnb the rest of the time?
As an architect, I can appreciate the criticisms of this being too much like a hotel room. However, with such a small amount of space to work with, in addition to the client's very specific brief I think Renee did the best she could with such a difficult space. There's a reason hotel rooms have this layout and it's for efficiency - when you have 15.8sqm(!) there's little else that can be moved around without compromising other aspects of the room.
As much as a folding bed may have opened up the space (among other possibilities) if your client specifically wants to have a large bed as a permanent fixture you can argue your point but ultimately it's their place, so their decision. You just have to accept it, work with it and own your final design.
@@mondianijoli9080 I liked some of ideas here and took notes. You can be critical but please don't speak for entire community of this channel.
@@ManlyHK1 maybe the owner is a bussinessperson and travels alot. This could be one of his/hers aparments, but not the only one.
No matter what you say, it still looks like a hotel and not a home.
@@rachkate76 Me too. I'm tired of people bashing on minimalistic and neat rooms by commenting "it looks like a HOTEL". Hope they are happy in their pile of hippie cluster.
I done it at 14m2
th-cam.com/video/GM77BrkkB7o/w-d-xo.html
its a shame they couldnt get a bigger bed in there, there was still some room to walk
😂😂😂
Ha ha ha!
agreed.. why the bed..
😂😂😂😂 stop!
Lol
People need to understand that this apartment is only for sleeping, not for living. Seems like the owner has to visit Amsterdam often but doesn’t life there.
For that purpose, it’s a very nice place!
What if I'm home person?
People don't seem to get what a pied-a-terre is
@@AlexA-iy6jk Then stay home.
@@milkwhistle Exactly! It's just a place away from your actual home or a place that you go to feel comfortable that's not a hotel.
Her client is the cat by the window. He’s very pleased with how everything was INTEGRATED
lmao
....and I came across this comment when she was saying the word.
@@tinajsiha SAME
To finish up the project, they made the cat itself... Integrated.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is a great space if you're single, a light packer, and don't like entertaining. A lot of people are complaining that it's like a hotel room or a bedroom, but I think that's exactly what their client was after: a bedroom away from home when they're in the city. Nothing wrong with that if you're not planning on keeping a lot of belongings there or having anyone over.
It would be fine for two people for less then 3 days.
Do you have any idea how absurd the real estate market is in Amsterdam? Plus the location, it’s crazy to live there permanently, non minimalist and entertain your friends. You get to go downstairs and entertain your friends at local cafes.
This is not ment to be lived in. It’s just a place where the owner can have an affair and not get cought by his wife.
@@uglyposterboy 😂😂😂
People know that's what it is, but that's not what the beauty in this series is. This is basically a hotel room and it functions as such as well. Seeing spaces that people would deem too tiny to live in used as proper homes by smart solutions is what the true beauty is. And knowing Amsterdam, there are probably loads of these tiny apartments where people actually live that you can find.
To be honest, that woman on the wall kind of freaks me out...I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to wake up from a nightmare, being glad that it's over, and find her staring at me...OMG
Hmmm...let's take a moment and talk
When there is a wine cooler but not a fridge you know it isn't an apartment, just a bedroom with a small ensuite.
I think it's called 'adultery place".
Or maybe the bedroom is just ensuite to the wine cooler.
I don’t know why, but I thought that was a real cat for a whole minute.
Me too.
LMAO same 🤣
LMAO I did the same and I was like "what's wrong with me?"
it looks real from afar! except that it doesnt move!
I thought it was real till you pointed it out.
I live in a 21sqm apartment with an almost identical layout (just remove the lounge sofa and add a table + 6sqm). I admit this looks cramped and is definitely designed as a hotel room... But I am kind of amazed that people go on about how "you can't live in a space like that". Looking at my own apartment I have everything I need from a large home. Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining-room bedroom, living room, office, wardrobe, even luxuries like a VR-playroom, Gym etc. How? well my office desk that double acts as a pull out dining table (6-8 people). My bed serve as my lounge area (I have no sofa, don't need one, the bed is very comfortable), in front of the bed I have a TV with wall mounted cupboards above and below and a wardrobe on the side (tons of storage) . I can tuck away my bed and the table. Allowing for a 12sqm usable space for anything I see fit. I can do yoga, gymnastics and play VR games in a 12sqm open space. The apartment can really be adapted to any occasion. My total living cost is 140EUR/month. Living in Sweden I am basically financially independent at the age of 35. Something I would never be in a large home with dedicated rooms and a tons of space.
True and very well said
let us know if you make a video of your place!
@@bambubombon I probably will once I have done the kitchen renovation. :) But right now my channel focuses on game development. However, there is one video on my co-workers channel where you can see the pull out table, and the main room seen from a couple of angles. th-cam.com/video/ZxhO1ZCOZ-M/w-d-xo.html
currently I can only move the bed around. And during a few luxurious times I have stoved away the bed vertically when I had a whole VR-day with my brother. My long term plan is to make a murphy bed. to be able to quickly allow for the whole room area to be free from furniture. :) (great for gym, yoga, VR as well as setting up the desk in the middle of the room for a dining room experience) I can move my desk and chair out in the kitchen area easily since everything is pretty much an open space. and I also have foldable chairs to pull out for guests. :)
@@DaveTexas Well, I have decided to live by myself, most likely for the rest of my life. I do have a partner since 8 years back and we are very happy together enjoying our life without the worry that children often provides. Life doesn't necessarily have to follow the norms, ideals or conventions of society. Children doesn't have to be the main goal or driver in life. I mean I love children, I'm a great uncle, but I don't necessarily want to father children of my own. And having a lucrative career doesn't have to be the goal if you don't actually require the money to stay happy.
I mean, you sound very fortunate to have been able to buy off a big condo. That's far from a reality to most people. Most people spend their whole life in debt living a similar lifestyle.
But you are right! I don't have a lot of equity in my home. And that is actually by choice. 11 years ago I lived a life of excess with my ex-wife. We bought an old fancy 130sqm aristocratic apartment. We filled it with luxury items and stuff. we were on a path of success with well-paid jobs, which also meant a very wasteful western lifestyle with the constant consumption and upgrading of goods (which is terrible for the environment).
It came to a point where I realized that it didn't make me happy and in-fact it wasn't what I wanted out of life. I felt stuck and my lifestyle prohibited me from doing the things I ACTUALLY cared about; Spending time with the people I love, living a life without stress, being present as a human. When I am alone I can be creative and I have the freedom to travel, explore nature etc... Both me and my partner agree that we live a very full life without the burden or adaption required by conventional living.
Today my apartment has:
- A Desktop computer
- A Laptop
- A TV
- A Stereo
- Retro computers/video games
- A Bed
- A Table
- Clothes
- Food
It has no real value if anything happen to my home. Which I consider being a good thing as materialistic stuff isn't weighing me down. So really, it doesn't matter if my apartment gets flooded, it doesn't matter if a hurricane destroys it all. I can pack everything I care about in a bag and still be happy. My lifestyle made me financially independent and worry free at the age of 35. The main reason being that I opted out of consumerism :)
I'm probably just an oddball, and my choices aren't for everyone, but at least I can explain why I live like I do. And the benefits it has for me on a personal level.
@@DaveTexas a large home in a city like Barcelona is totally inaccessible for a single person or a coulpe on an average income. But a small flat, if well decorated and in a decent neighbourhood, is definitely a valuable asset - the sort of property that you can rent easily if you decide to move out - and very sought after if you were to sell it.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the whole design. It's just that, I'm actually waiting for the cat to move
Charie Quetua lol 😂😂😂
🤣 I was too! Thought it was real at first.
Right?!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@lindajohnson1873 the cat was the final deal sealer. Hahahaha
I want that cat!
You guys don't forget: the client wanted and approved this.
So what? The moment this video was put up and the comments enabled then we can pull apart the nonsense. Can't take or don't like the criticism? Don't visit the comments section
Xander I think he/she meant that it’s mostly the client’s fault that there’s faults in the design, not the designer.
Wow people here really love to debate so much huh
Yeah! Imagine the kind of human that thinks it's ok to spend on automatic windows while living inside a box.
well... this is too small... even for me that loves small places
What a great use of such a small space. They have provided storage, a kitchen and a bathroom, and a beautifully warm and serene ambience in such a small space. Most hotel rooms are 25sqm and larger… this apartment is only 15.8sqm, yet it is very welcoming and warm. Impressive. And it def looks luxurious.
I personally love it! I could see myself curling up on that window seat with a cup of coffee in the mornings. And snuggling into that luxurious bed at the end of a long day exploring Amsterdam. ❤
I'm sure the client had their reasons, though it does feel rather cramped. But regardless of how the space was distributed, the onyx niche for some reason looks so unreal. Maybe it's the material, maybe it's the lighting. But it just looks really good. The integrated tech controls is a cool touch too. Though the window seat is the real highlight tbh. Especially in a space that small.
I really like the window seat.
The home automation is done by Sight and Sound Sytems in Amsterdam.
Yes, the window seat is brilliant, really makes the space. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how the space functions. There’s not even room for your suitcase once you arrive, nowhere to hang a coat or tomorrow’s shirts. “Excuse me, I need to stepped into the hallway to change my socks.”
No one :
Narrator : _integrating_
4:13 why would anyone wanted a picture of someone that big staring at you sleeping
Don't show this to your wife or else, she might get inspired to put her big picture frame staring at you in your room. It's like her saying "hey honey, don't you dare tap that woman on our bed while I'm away"
Yes, yes they would.
there are couple pieces of art portraits that I would be glad to have them watch over me.
Lo mismo pensé scary
The painting looks terrible hung there.
The cracked beams on the ceiling make me uncomfortable.
Let me assure you, that's very normal in this corner of the world
finally someone talk about the most important point in this video
Yeah same...
Lol
First time i see a luxurius being luxurius.. love it its like a hotel with clever storage and tecnology.
Amazing! It’s not always about the size of the space it’s all about having great taste and making the space work for you.
The use of such a tiny space is brilliant. The hidden kitchen storage and use of stone is lovely.
I like the luxurious wall to wall upholstered window seat. Personally I would have used a murphy bed. I like the color palette--very calming and appropriate for that latitude.
I actually find this a nice calming space and really like it. Window and window seat are perfect. The onyx in kitchen is gorgeous. Oddly while I realise the bed is big in a tiny space, it looks right and very cosy. But do wish the cat had been real as it would have been nice to see one in the space to feel really homely. Thank you Never To Small for posting.
isnt this basically a 5 star hotel lmao
@@mondianijoli9080 is it more expensive? If you spend a week every month in that place for 20 years it'll pay for itself - not really unusual if you're say 30 and working in corporate environment. It'll pay for itself in less than 10 years of you spent there about 20 days in a month (work week while weekends are spent out of town).
If you rent it out when you're not there it'll pay for itself in less than 5 years.
Lastly, having your own space is invaluable. You'll never feel that way at AirBnB or in hotel room.
@@mondianijoli9080 regarding last argument, it entirely depends on when you're in such space. If you spend a month in and two months out in repeat you can easily make it yours for that month, pack up, clean up and rent.
I got the impression it is a part-time residence.
Beautiful, but...always a but....the bedroom in the kitchen. Pool out bed seems more practical.
4 star :)
"We needed a warm color pallette"
* Shows dull grey and white walls *
That's how warm means in a morgue
Well, grey can be warm 👀
not warm nor cozy at all!
it acually feels very unwelcoming, and that comes from a person who really likes cold colored places
@@jaquelinezini I agree, to me the lighting and the colours just felt depressing : /
@@-nix-8679 totally!
Although I really admire the architect's work in this apartment, I also feel like this is another Airbnb room for rich people coming to Amsterdam. So it probably was supposed to look this impersonal, like an actual hotel room. Also the price the owner paid for a place like this in Amsterdam must have been unbelievable, I remember I was in shock and quite sad when I learned about the real estate prices in there. It truly is an indicator of some alarming differences among people in Europe.
Just don't live in the centre of Amsterdam. You'll be fine living a little further away. Besides, everything is so well connected in Amsterdam (speaking about the public transportation). Else, you could always bike everywhere like everyone else does.😂
@@sincerelysof ??
@@monikastetkova3966 the last part of your comment. You made it sound like in the Netherlands there is a huge gap in income. Though partly right, people are doing actually okay in the Netherlands eventhough they might not have much. The prices of houses in the cerntre of Amsterdam are crazy expensive because of historical value and location. That's why I said, just don't live near the centre and you'll be fine (for now.. Since Amsterdam is getting denser).
@@sincerelysof That's why I wrote "Europe" in my comment, not Netherlands, sure people are doing great in there but that is in strong contrast with other European countries where some people struggle to afford rent or even lunch for their kids at school (yes, that's a real thing in the Czech Republic where I live)...
@@monikastetkova3966 Amsterdam is not The Netherlands.
This space does have a comfortable, cozy vibe ☺️ I love the use of the gun metal frame & velvet upholstery on the wall behind the bed. The ceiling is even nice! 🥰
I like the design... for an elegant AirBNB. That’s what it feels like. 🤷🏼♀️
To be honest, with all the “homes” on this channel where they mention it is for the owner to “only stay there occasionally” I always interpret that as “AirBnB rental”. That’s just how I interpret it.
I would imagine the owner uses this as an alternative to a hotel room when visiting Amsterdam, then rents it out on AirBnb when she is not there. It's gorgeous. Great job!
There is nothing great about taking away a living space which could have been a small home for someone.
@@tonytunbridge6275 Good point, actually
@@indigomoon7848 Oh, one more actually, the sketchvideo called "The number 1 problem in Amsterdam: locals’ by De Speld.
That one sortof highlights the side-effects of it a bit extra.
I keep coming back to this apartment. The simplicity and elegance is so on target. I would love to develop a slightly larger version as a micro-apartment in NYC!
This is the Smallest unit that is on the channel!
So what the Architect has achieved is this design for what the client wanted is absolutely beautiful!
So luxurious and rich. I like it..
What a lovely escape..I'm quite fond of a fancy hotel room and I love the no clutter and high tech pieces included
youtube playing TWO non-skippable ads before videos less then 20 minutes long, is absolutely ridiculous.
Don't forget the unskippable one at the end
I love the execution of this apartment while at the same time thinking it’s also proof that 16sqm just isn’t enough space for an apartment. I love the hotel style, I love the amazing integration, and most of all I love the cozy nook by the window! The Frame TV fits there perfectly, and I can understand why they chose such a big artwork next to it: in such a small room, one big luxurious artwork can make the room feel bigger than multiple small ones. I’m also glad they chose a real bed and not an impractical Murphy bed.
But I think I’d get a bit claustrophobic in the small bathroom without windows, and I wish there was a cover over the power outlet behind the induction stove. The owner probably won’t cook much anyway but if they did, this power outlet could get greasy, fast.
Still, this is one of the best designs for micro apartments I have seen so far! I wouldn’t want to live there but it’s very inspirational for what you can do in a small space.
i heard "integrate" more times in 3 minutes then in my whole lifetime
You really should attend a calculus course :)
It's basically a small hotel room. I would have used a murphy bed.
they clearly said client didn't want one...
And done what? The client didn't want one, and this was exactly what was asked for.
That onyx kitchenette is TO DIE FOR. Spaces like this apartment share the same principals as Tiny House design - when you are designing and finishing such small spaces, you can reserve a larger percentage of the budget for luxurious indulgences that elevate the tactile and aesthetic experience of the space. Cladding a standard sized kitchen in onyx would be ostentatious and insanely expensive, but a 8 ft. square niche - it's like sculpture or a jewelry piece in the room. Exquisite!
"Pied-à-terre for the client"
huhu. And then place a pamflet holder (1:44) on the wall...
This is just a very, very expensive AirBnb room. Thus it looks like a hotel room.
It is the smallest but one of best interior seen so far.
Such great use of place and love the placements of furniture😍
Modern, Luxury, Technological peace art. Especially I liked the inside bathroom door covering. Never saw such execution before. Thanks for insparation!
This is beautiful. My only thing is I would switch the bed and living room area. That way you walk into the living room first and that if you wanted you could put a curtain up to enclosed the bed area.
Yesss
But you loose natural light
And you would also loose the view
But then you'd just have a bed in the natural light when you're not using that bed....
This is what I would do and also put see-through, hazy screen for the 1/3 of the bed length to divide a little these areas.
You did an awesome job here. It shows you ‘get it’ I love this space
This encapsulates luxury perfectly!
For the size, this is incredibly beautiful
I love this channel . And i love when i see the bathrooms with marble ..the stones should give the impression of coldness into the bathroom but i feel it reversed , it gives me such a feeling of intimacy and warmth ,like in a cocoon ,when you taking shower . I've seen the same type of bathroom in one of your older videos and i just feel it . So cozy :)
Yes its too small, but the aesthetic of this is absolutely beautiful!
I find this apartment very romantic and grounding- love it ❤️
The bed is so huge it overwhelms the space. I've never even seen a hotel room look as small as this.
Obviously you haven't been in Amsterdam. My first hotel room had the bed literally inside the wall and my head was under shelves. The bed was smaller than 2m so I had to sleep like a baby. Hotel staircase was like a ladder. Had shared bathroom and costed a fortune. That was the last time I went into a hotel that was formerly a house in Amsterdam.
I’m sorry but how is an entirely grey apartment “warm”??
Right? Even adding a splash of maroon would have helped.
well its not grey grey. u have a cold grey and a warm grey. just a tiny tiny taste of colour so its not just straight boring actual grey.
even the bathrooms are dark and grey.
Why do I feel loke an anxiety attack coming on when I see the bathroom door😰. What if it malfunctions?
For real tho! Hopefully they were technical about it and installed a phoneline for inside the bathroom.
Yeah ! We're all gonna die !!!!!
I would never close that door and actually I would always put something between the door and the frame so that it will not close when I am inside. That space and the door would make me paranoid.
I like the hotel feel about this apartment.....your very own hotel room when you are visiting the city, without booking and removing your stuff. And nice to have a bed ready...great 👌
I really liked the look and feel of the space. Especially on the basis of what the client wanted, it looks like a super cool holiday home.
The material choices for the finishes are crazy elegant!! Wow!!
It's soooo pretty and neat, tbh I almost cried when I saw the bathroom design. I am going to use this condo as a model for my home in the future.
Honestly I love what the designer did with what she was given and what she was asked.
Disliking the architecture doesn't mean you should dislike the video... The quality is as good as it always is! Just because it has flaws, does not mean the video is bad.
I can see why people dislike the appartment: Almost no colors, no real 'warmth', the picture is way too big and well, it's a luxurious place. So it doesn't have the same atmosphere as the other appartments... But I think it turned out just like the client wanted, so she did a great job! Love the asymmetry theme!
An efficiency hotel room, no condo! Not even an apartment.
the first sentence about the client says they wanted a "pied-a-terre", and this is exactly what this place is.
I understand that this is made for rich airbnb customers who are not going to cook anything anyway. But, you still need a cooker hood of some sort just in case? If someone gonna cook anything there, good luck getting rid of the smell inside the apartment.
imagine sleeping with the residue of your cooking wafting in the air..
For a 15 sqm room, this is a marvelous work. I could totally see myself living comfortably here. I don't like having to pull and push my bed.
background music plus the coziness and imagining myself living there somehow gave me the feeling of nostalgia.
I think I'd like to sleep in that reading nook it seems very cozy.
This would be an amazing room to come home to after a long day at work or as a travel room. This seems like a much better use of furniture, comfort, and space than most hotel rooms.
imagine quarantine days..not allowed to go out and dine out....and living in this tiny space with very little leg room
What a lovely hotel room with a kitchenette.
This feels much more like a hotel room, rather than a place to live.
totally! non folding bed killing this space
Exactly what I was thinking, no way someone lives here 24/7. Probably someone’s pied a terre.
Totally. But somehow i imagine anyone who lives in this apartment only political prisoner, a spy, or someone who looks unhappy and needed a hug.
@@npigwnl They said in the video that the client wanted a pied a- terre so the client got exactly what they wanted.
Because it's not a place to live.
Very beautiful and I'm sure it wasn't easy to build. I would be more than happy living there.
And then you'd realise that the shelves in most of the cases could not be fully open, that your kitchen is too dark and tiny to make a meal in, except for one coffee, maybe, that the sink is build to ruin your glass dishes, that only thing you can actually do in your apartment is lying in your bed or sitting with a glass of wine staring through the window.
It feels like a fancy 5 stars hotel room, great for singles...
My favorite thing about this channel is how short the episodes are! No useless info 👏
Absolutely precise attention to the client’s desires with absolutely stunning results!!!
This looks like a good place to OD
There's a lot of things that bother me with this one, but the giant artwork that's so big it takes all the wall and its bottom is actually hidden by the bed has to be the worst part... what a terrible disservice to the space AND the art
Pretty sure the artwork was used to zone the space. But in contrast to the small square TV next to it, it does look somewhat disproportionate.
Its funny because they said they made art a main focus in the design. But there's barley any art in the apartment.
Out of proportions is still kind of composition. I just adore this kind of contrast... Huge piece of art in small space...
That is my only criticism of the whole apartment, the art work is too low.
The artwork is meant as a statement telling that you don't have to think small even when the space around you is limited. I like it, it makes an impression!
I like the way the limited space within the project is utilized, giving each area an activity that fulfills its function.
How about everyone just enjoy the episode instead of constant criticism. It was designed for the owner. Stay positive and happy holidays-)
I love this! It’s so cosy and located in one of my favourite places in the world 👌🏼❤️
It’s a small hotel room, doesn’t matter what you do to it, it’s a small hotel room.
In all honesty, I would love to live in this room. It looks great, is cozy, and is easy to clean.
Finally a really small appartment!
The picture on the wall is way too big.
I don’t know why people want luxury feeling in a 170sf apartment.
Oh that bed ! You can almost feel how comfortable it is just looking at it................ * wistful sigh ........ I want THAT bed and bedding ..
Gosh I just love this place. It’s a jewel box. So cozy and plush and posh. Yes it’s looks like a hotel room but I would love to live in a hotel room.
Never too small is a luxury we can't afford 😔
1:46 Are those cracks at the beams? Or is it just me watching at 360p resolution? Lol
And at 4:19 one beam isn't leveled with the rest.
this is an OLD house = yes , with cracked beams and not straight ones...
Geez those cracks seem pretty bad, I’m surprised nobody else has commented on them
As an engineer myself, the cracks really terrified me a lot...
It'll hit whoever sleeps below that beam if a chunk of concrete separate from the beam
It looks horrible
Warm colours & calming music.... It's too small but sure feels soothing
Gorgeous! Well done.
"Luxurious Micro Condominium", er, its a hotel room without the rest of the hotel.
I personally think the bed takes up way too much space in that small studio. They should have gone for a Murphy bed or some kind of expanding furniture.
Factory051 think this Apartment is only for sleeping
It looks like there's only about a foot between that large art wall and the bed. There's little to no flow in the room.
Didn't she mention the client wanted the bed to remain out....? 🤔
She did mention that her client wanted the bed to be so. So they had to keep the bed instead of a folding bed.
@@blairwrelos1891 I actually think there was NO client whatsoever.
Enjoying the city outside the window : shows a statue of a cat enjoying the city outside the window
This apartment is the example that a small space can be very luxurious and comfortable, it also shows that you don't need to have much to live with quality of life.
My fiance lost it when the architect started talking about a "work of art" in the bathroom.
i made a work of art today called "the turbulent brown jet stream"
wow, this is weird, I've been here on this street. I took a photo even of one of the few green doors of the basement on this street. The canal architecture is 👌🏾
This is what I'm looking for. The bathroom and sink niches are marvellous. I want that window seat. The night lamps are superb. I love everything about it.
Essentially, it’s a very classy hotel room. Well done.
this looks like a black mirror room set up
This design is very similar to many hotel rooms in Japan. I was expecting more unique features and got a little bit disappointed...
I love everything!! Such a beautiful job with this home. I would have done a murphy bed, but that's just me. Thanks for sharing.
The designer did a great job, I love the colour theme considering very little space to work with
You have now been integrated, commencing upload into the matrix.
*A grey colour palettes is not warm, it is calm and neutral.
I don't get why so many people dislike this. I like it, and could easily make it my primary residence, atleast for a few years. I'd eat out at restaurants and pretty much spend my days wandering around the city.
I think this is lovely. Certainly it's not to my taste but it doesn't have to be if that's what your client wants, you do the best you can. It reminds me of a beautiful hotel room with a little extra on the side. If I was using this apartment as a pit stop or a vacation home then it's perfect cause I would rarely be inside.
