Love this latest project, another beautiful winner, and Brilliant seems like a good app. It should be pointed out to them however that presenting a case study about turning dwellings into AirBnB properties (2:53) is particularly tone-deaf in a time of housing crisis and homelessness.
Eek!
I was just thinking to myself "I haven't seen a Gemma video in a while.. I hope she drops another one soon"!! XD
Was getting bored with all the usual here then this popped up... So glad too !
My problem is I could watch one a day
That's a tricky one but it's a good one. The solution where the ceiling meets the stone wall is clean, brilliant, and grounds the space. It's a beautiful, warm, and cozy solution which preserves the integrity of the architecture.
Each of your projects, a pure joy! Love your channel! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!
That was a tricky one!
Haha yes, but fun
I love the tiny home concept, the concealed storage is a bonus!
A fabulous little holiday cottage!
So heartwarming that someone cares enough to save these old structures and also makes them so beautifully useable. Thank you for sharing your experiences, talents and inspiring others.
This turned into a very stylish Zen- like house. With the added summer kitchen outdoors quite the extrakitted tiny house. Always delightef to see plans that dont involve big screens (tv).
I think I'd love this, without the door on the bookshelf, and a few chosen artworks. I love the sleeping nook corresponding with the height of that window! ❤
It's always a good day when a video of yours comes out!
Love the kitten in front of the front door 🤣 I would personally leave the loft little more open with maybe some railing or some see-through wooden partition so it's not so claustrophobic.
Ah the first cat spot!
I am always impressed that every design has at least a washing machine! Always nice to not have to go to the laundromat. I also feel like a lot of small spaces will sacrifice having a washing machine, but yours never leave it out which is great!
It can be a very long drive to a public laundry facility in rural France (and rural Europr in general), and this was a car free island (with or without road to the mainland) if I understood correctly. Small villeages don't necessarily have laundromats like the US.
Watching your videos is so inspiring! I live in a boring old high rise apartment with an inefficient floor plan but your ideas give me inspiration and hope that everything can be changed for the better 😊
Your videos never fail to impress Gemma. Love that sleeping nook above the bathroom; so cosy 👍
Brilliant. You are a genius and I can't wait for each video. Thank you!
I'm amazed at how you managed to turn this space into something so lovely and habitable! Brilliant job!
Lovely. I'm always interested to see what you come up with next!
As usual, you have done a spectacular job with such a small space. Love the design!
As always, excellent idea and design. Way to go!!! Congratulations.
Always love your transformations. Has anyone ever followed through and done one of these examples you show? Would love to see one if so.
This one is particularly beautiful, with a lot of "oh wow" moments! Thank you for brightening up our day here with some creative inspiration.
So excited to see you taking this on. It's amazing what you can do with such a small space. Excellent work and thank you for sharing it!
Another “gem” by Gemma. Love your work❣️
I swear I've only just scrolled down to your comment after posting ditto! NOT plagiarising yours!
Dear Gemma, I'm a peruvian architect living in France. Your work inspire our profession.
Another gem from Gemma - and I'm not being flippant. The wall 'wrapping' idea gave rise to design opportunities and storage space.
I love it. i would only leave book shelves open as i like looking at books, as well as the sleeping loft. one would not have to move the stairs around, there would be more air flow and it would probably be easier to change the bedding.
I think that for me, thisis your best effort so far. Exquisite! Folding the roofline into the upper wall was brilliant, as it not only minimizes the overhead weight but adds a strong stone horizontal datum to stretch the space. Brava!
I so enjoy the way you take a mess & make it something very beautiful & functional. Thank you for sharing. Many blessings
You have put more in 215 sq feet than most apartments that are >500 sq feet. And it all looks so calm and inviting
I love when it's tiny but perfectly functional
Tons of charm with this one!
I bet there are others like me who would love to see your plans brought to life, and would be happy to contribute to a crowdfunding effort to help realize the client's dream.
This is amazing, what a wonderful talent you have. Amazing. Thank you.
This is an absolute dream!!!! I’m always so happy to see a new video from you pop up on my feed. I don’t mind the wait because I know you are putting thought and effort into your designs. Thank you for sharing your brilliance. ❤
I love this house and the area- so rustic and beautiful.
Encore un tour de force, Gemma !
Brilliant! And I love that you always share your thought process with us, it's really insightful!
I'm in love with this tiny home!
It was lovely I'm moving in!!!
oh wow I'm literally watching this video from this little island in Brittany where I live !!!
I can not believe it !
Hello from IAM ❤
Just enough is truly as good as a feast.
What a Joy watching your new episode!!!
Beautiful! Personally I would have put a small round window over the sofa into the shower room as I have a thing about windowless rooms. ❤
Love this as I do all of your visions in these tiny spaces.
Another amazing transformation
You are SO good at this !!!
Excellent job
You did it again. Your work is stunning and inspiring 😍
Once again, a pure pleasure to see this habitation. I’m going to use your link to try Brilliant and use it while I wait as patiently as possible for your next video.
love this space, nicely done, thank you
Loved it!
The cat really makes this one
I would absolutely love to live in that space!
Amazing. I get so excited when I see a new video from you
Brilliant! As usual.
I love this channel, every design has such a good taste ❤
Such a great design!
When the initial video tour began showing the interior, I thought, this is not for the faint hearted 😅but, after seeing Gemma’s design, I thought, wow! the owner must be feeling pretty excited now! I sure would be 🙌love it Gemma - your ability to breathe life into old and worn out buildings is amazing! 🎉👍🏻
I would have extending the sleeping platform from the other side, over the kitchen, by the lovely bright window, and for more space around a bed. Probably also with a more fixed stair method
This is a delight …I have subscribed now…saw your design once before
I so enjoy seeing your clever ideas. You are truly genius when designing these spaces.
you designed a great space, and the colors are wonderful... greetings from Bosnia...🤗
I love your designs!
Another wonderful design
I would need a bed rail that tucked away into the wall. I know it looks like you wouldn’t fall, but I couldn’t sleep without it.
Oh Gemma!! I've just discovered your channel and I"m obsessed! Could watch your designs all day, everyday! Congratulations on your wonderful content! Xo from Canada ❤
Hi, Gemma. This wee home is delightful… well done👏👏👏👏👏
Great channel, you have a new subscriber, I find your voice is like ASMR and the video relaxes me whilst also keeping me interested 😊
Gemma hi, you never say how much it really costs…..but I love what you do.
Desirable
You and the spaces you create are amazing. Forgive me if it sounds sappy but it really is like witnessing a "Harmonic Convergence". 💜
I love this one!
Fabulous!
Absolutely lovely!!!
I loved it❤ but can't imagine sleeping in the loft
Stunning!
I lkike the ideas that you have shared in this video - in a space that is really quite small and pretty challenging! I would want to try and get some form of opening into the bedroom loft so that both light and fresh air flowed into it - maybe be keeping it open instead of enclosed, just putting something like a low fence enclosure along the exposed edge. I think that might work a bit better, in particular as this building will only accommodate one, or maybe two people max. Also from a parctical point of view, making the bed in the loft is going to be a very challenging task, even for the most patient of people.. Interesting concept, and a great place to start from... 🙂
Yeah brilliance how good it would be if Australia had opportunities like this 😞
Ninja architecture skill..kudos
Спасибо за ваши видео. Большое наслаждение их смотреть 🙏
You are welcome! I wish I could recognise which language you speak!

@@gemmawheeler That's Russian
Beautiful! The only thing is that loft bed would be a bit scary getting up in the night - I feel a more solid access, whilst it might take away from the lounge area, would make safer space. I imagine this building will be a holiday let but even so - that's a tricky access and I'd be scared of falling out during the night. But it's beautiful as are all your designs - maybe a double sofa bed is a better iption here,
I‘m absolutely amazed! Love it! Greetings from cologne Andy
Instead of having a separate dining table - could it not have been formed from the adjacent cupboard doors being a drop down table and benches ?
Thank you 🙏
dear Gemma in my next life could be like you ? I think you're so brillant ! OMG
another great design.
Another brilliant re-design, my only concern would be falling out of bed.
Very nice design! :D
There is only one thing that bothers me somewhat, namely that the toilet is to close to the bed(s).
I am paraphrasing the Feng Shui channel "Dear Modern" here, that toilets should not be to close to dining or sleeping areas, even if separated by walls.
But since I am not an expert, the only idea that comes to (my) mind is to put the toilet on the opposite side of the wall.
If possible even closer to the outer wall (the foot-end of the upper bed), where in your current layout the deeper storage is located.
This would have the added benefit of more privacy for anyone using the toilet.
Of course this would necessitate a rearranging of the bathroom.
Maybe the deep storage - if it is used for a washer / dryer combo - at the end where currently the shower is located?
The sink opposite of the door, and left of it - in front to the toilet - a small shelf?
Would a bathtub-shower-combo work in this room?
I am sorry for throwing a spanner in your work, but since I started delving into Feng Shui I started to notice a lot of things, and have changed several arrangements in my own apartment.
And it actually feels better now! ;)
Apart from this, I really like your design.
I envy who ever will have the pleasure to live in this house. ^^
Genius!
Maybe it's the angle we're viewing it at (6:51) but the storage cupboard door in the kitchen seems to magically clear the table and tuck in behind it. ??? Otherwise, a beautiful space.
Love pretty much all of your Designs! They are all thought through so much and overall just super lovely!
I do have a question so: I myself am studying architecture at the moment so I am very interested in what program you use for your 3D models and visualisation? Seems to be maybe sketch up and twinmotion?
Beautiful design!! How do you add insulation & the required modern wall layers & still have exposed stone inside & outside?
A question not a criticism - why have/do you not consider/use sinks on top of toilet cisterns ? I really enjoy your videos and sometimes think that by using that kind of sink you could gain extra space within the bathroom, especially in examples such as this one?
Absolutely love the sleeping nook in this one - really cute.
Ah a few people have asked me that. I have nothing against them. They’re pretty clever. I guess I would see them as a last resort for an absolutely minuscule space where you definitely couldn’t fit a separate sink. I aim to give tiny spaces as much comfortable obstacle-free movement space as possible so that the inhabitants aren’t reminded that they’re in a tiny space and having to accommodate compromises. I think brushing your teeth with the toilet bowl potentially in the way of your legs seems a bit of an obstacle? 🤷♂️
Really magic ! 1 remark : why is the entrance to 7:40 the sleepingspace so low ? Or are you mirroring thé window ?
nice!
...only the bathroom will be a damp room, without a good idea!
Haha extraction!
Great design! I do wonder though of that sleeping alcove would become hot and uncomfortable in the summer
Possibly. It may need some ventilation to keep the air moving but with the correct insulation it shouldn’t be extreme
How on earth do make up the bed in the second floor nook?
The upper bedroom is not functional. How would you change the bedding? I would have used the upper space as an attic space for storage.
The bathroom seems a bit too large for the size of the floorplan.
Having the day bed right by the hearth is also impractical. The heat of the wood fire would be uncomfortable to be so close to it.
The daybed needs to have some distance from the hearth.
I love some of your ideas, like the concealed storage around the wood stove and the storage bench, but, overall, I just don't really like it when these historical buildings are made into the ultra-modern Scandinavian minimalist style that's everywhere these days. It's a bit like buying a minivan and putting racing stripes and track tires on it. If you're going to buy a historic cottage, I think you should also try to preserve the original style as much as possible. Just go buy a modern condo if that's what you want anyway. The character in a building isn't just in the facade. That's just my two cents, though. I still like the video and I applaud your ability to see the utility in difficult spaces, I just don't know that I agree that said utility has to automatically go hand-in-hand with ultra-modern styling.
Are you interested in designing houses outside the British isles? I'd love your take on tropical ruins, and would love looking for ones to send you :)
Please do!
