Easily one of the best apartment on this channel. Practical and beautiful. The light coming from both ends is utilised perfectly. Kudos to the architects for creating this amazing space!
It's beautiful, imaginative and excellent use of space. Modern but with a warmth not many modern apartments have! Lovely couple speaking clear good English. A beautiful city too! A happy future for you!
i can’t agree more! light on both ends and balconies to extend the living space. very jealous of their view from the office. that kitchen though ::chef’s kiss::
The Netherlands are know for having houses with steep stairs, especially in older houses in the bigger&older cities. It's not unusual to hire a small crane while moving because your furniture will need to leave the house through the windows xD
@@cassuaris Yes, I was amazed when visiting Amsterdam to see how very narrow the older houses are, and how tall! Many still have the 'hoisting beam' (hijsbalk) on the gable. In Paris, stairs are not so narrow, but even so they often use a 'monte-meuble', 'sort of a motorized ladder with a platform, to carry heavy furniture to upper floors.
I agree, there are a lot of houses on this channel that compromise a lot of practicality for aesthetics. Like that one house that does not have a closet because the owner prefers a large sunroom, that's why the only storage space in that house is through a little door (1 feet) in the living room that they must crawl through.
@@monelmonelmonel I think you don't know about the importance of daylight in countries like Netherlands. In north European interior design, daylight comes always first.
@@meliskaraoglan9318 Maybe, but I don't think you should sacrifice storage space for an unusually large sunroom when you already have a reasonably sized daylight in the middle of the house just for a bonsai tree. But then again, as long as the owners are happy then it's fine since it's their choice anways!
I love this design. So well thought out. A comfortable lounge room - with a TV set up in a good, viewable position. The office space actually looks usable... The balcony and large doors that lead to it makes the whole space really pleasant. I love the dining chairs too
This is one of the most livable designs I've seen on this channel. I can easily see how different tenants could change the look and functionality with different furniture and art pieces and still maintain the open space without feeling crowded.
I love that they used cardboard boxes to see how they live before creating the design. So many designs end up being impractical because the dweller's daily lifestyle isn't taken into account. Great job!
I had a similar sized apartment with bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. These staircase models is what a lot of people do when they live on the third floor.
There's also no way that's 49sqm. My old apartment here in Amsterdam was virtually identical to their downstairs - mine didn't have the attic, and mine was 50sqm. This with the attic has to be at least 65/70sqm. It would have been so much more interesting to see them build out one floor along the same design concept but include a bedroom, as this basic layout/apartment is extremely common here - pretty much the standard (minus the attic, which is very rare and you'd be extremely lucky to find a place with two floors of any kind at this price).
@@obscurazone Hmmm.... that living room seems pretty narrow. Its seems to be 2-2,5 meters wide and just a little longer than the couch. So 10m2 for that space alone would be generous. Same for that tiny bedroom. Double for the kitchen area (also generous). Thats 40. 9 left for the bathroom. It could be true. They try to make it as spacious as possible on camera.
There's also no way that's 49sqm. My last place here in Amsterdam was virtually identical (minus the attic) and mine was 50sqm. This place is more like 65/70 sqm. Its a great design, but two floors like this in this price range is virtually impossible to find.
Such a cool design! I adored the quaint office space opening out into the balcony...❤❤❤. The contrast of the kitchen in black added a touch of sleekness to the entire floor. This is what intelligent use of space is... Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
love it. Personally i'd maybe mount the TV and put another floating storage unit directly underneath. looks weird on the floor imo. is otherwise a beautifully used and efficient space. its a space i would love living in and the surrounding area is lovely
I keep my tv the exact same way they do: On a low simple shelf with wheels. I prefer it like that because: - can wheel the tv away to not have the it be the centerpiece ("altar") of the living room. Both visually, and for it to not catch my attention. - And when having guests, it makes the living room more flexible that I am able to remove the tv. - Plus it allows my son to move the tv when he plays PS: The apartment is too small for him to have a large tv in his room. And even the living room is small, and to avoid people constantly crossing in front of the tv, because it is in a main walkpath of the apartment, he can pull the tv closer to the couch.
@@SIC647 this was a super enlightening comment. Thanks for sharing! I was also bothered by the TV, but your explanation makes a lot of sense! Especially noting how the couple stated they took their lifestyles into account before making builds.
Very thoughtfully designed and executed space with generous proportions where needed and tighter spaces where space could be saved. Creating the connection to the upstairs space makes this project work really well and the bright office space looks like a great space for working in :)
Wow...that doesn't seem small at all...it's fabulous... design, style.. beautiful in colour and a great flow throughout...I could live here .. thanks for sharing.
This one is so incredible! I am a fan of light and sober colours cz these actually make the home look peaceful and helps you stay as cool as cucumber. Really a nice one!
This is one of my very favourites on your channel. It flows well and the hidden storage make it seem uncluttered. Beautiful, highlights the sunny places and appears much bigger than it is. I really love it.
i love this! it's such a great balance of both aesthetics and practicality, as well as a very certain timelessness in every design detail. i love how intentional the architects were, even from creating a "demo space" before actually getting to work - brilliant!
Architects perfectly understood the brief and created an iconic home, frankly the size is irrelevant as the design to proportions trump all. Beautiful 💗
Best, best & best!! This house is my utmost favorite!! I have been watching tiny home videos for about a year now and THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I COULD ACTUALLY LIVE IN! Absolutely stunning.❤️
LOVE THIS!! I’m a sucker for honey-toned wood and this space is organized so beautifully. I’d probably add more color in certain places (that bedroom was very very white), but this is easily the best home I’ve seen on this channel!
It's a great layout, especially the fitted storage which is ALWAYS the main problem in Amsterdam apartments, but unless you are extremely lucky to get on the housing ladder and somehow stumble upon a place where you get the top floor and attic space (rarely if ever) this redesign is the stuff of pipe dreams. Hardly anyone in this city could do this plan at this budget, and unfortunately we are left scrambling around fighting amongst eachother for pretty much everything that comes to market. The housing situation here is absolutely diabolical - at crisis point, and the costs are now insane. I would have been really fascinated, to see how they would have designed that place WITHOUT the attic, how they would have gotten a bedroom and that storage into the main space, as indeed this then could have become a blueprint for the rest of us living in virtually identical spaces. It was a good episode, but honestly...having lived here for so long, kinda frustrating as it is the sort of size/price two floor apartment that just isn't readily available We mostly live like sardines. On one floor. Good for them though!
If the they had the same floorspace but on one level would they not just replace the stairs with a door into the bedroom which is now on the ground floor?
I’m curious about the m2 of the storage. Maybe 8-10? That makes the main floor around 40m2? Our flat (1905 in Cremerbuurt) is 50m2 on the second floor with an office in the storage (4th) accessible by stairs. Not as convenient access but definitely useful space. It works for us. Do you have any storage? Or just your main space?
@@catprog If they had the same amount of floorspace horizontally, they would have a totally different home... In old Amsterdam they built up, not out (in those time these buildings were the highrise/skyscraperbuildings of modern today /where do you think they got the idea? ;D).
this is so beautiful. Perfect harmony. Everything has purpose, there is simplicity and modernism throughout the entire unit. that oak veneer finish is to die for.
@@kwhatten Dutch apartments traditionally have seperate storage rooms outsdie each apartment. If you happen to be the flat undeerneath these storage rooms then you're lucky enough to be able to build into it! That's my guess of what's happening here anyway.
@@micharein2213 Yes, my grandmother had a storage room at the attic (sixth floor under the roof), while she had an apartment at the second floor. Every apartment had a storage room on the sixth floor, reachable by the main stairwell, for Christmas stuff, saison cloths and camping gear etc.
At the first sentence I knew these were fellow Dutch people. :) It makes it a bit more interesting for me, hope you'll do more episodes in Amsterdam / The Netherlands! Thank you
I have to say that the work space is such a dream comes true. And the whole apartment is just like a hidden gem within the old building. Love this project you guys
Wonderful plan. You overcame the problem of small by adding closets that are missing from most small houses and subtracted from kitchen area for the roomy office/storage area. Yours is the first small plan that actually incorporates necessitates of living.
I love this. A family/eat in kitchen, office, comfortable living room, inviting hallway and large bedroom all on 49m2. I am from Amsterdam and love homes like this.
This reuse and redesign of an existing apartment is commendable. The layout and light from each end make it expansive, practical and beautiful. The compounded storage, bathroom and stairs are great solutions.
Gorgeous! The space has a simple feeling, but there are many nuances in the design. The wood cabinetry has the perfect amount of warmth to balance the grey floors and white walls. So lovely
I LOVE this space!! So creative how you built the stairs. Love all the windows and natural light. Perfect decor too. Great layout. What a smart idea to try with boxes first before building.
I’ve watched nearly all of the videos on this channel, and this is my favorite apartment. How you have used the two balconies to create two unique and inviting spaces is incredible, and it creates the illusion of much more space. The storage integration is also fantastic. The only change that I might make if I lived there would be to incorporate for shelving for clothing and a mirror in the loft so that wardrobe wouldn’t need to be split between the levels. Fantastic work!!
Easily one of my faves from this channel. Exceptional ways of maximizing limited space without sacrificing the visual aspects of each and every room existing.
And again the importance of built-in smart storage solutions is showcased. My old apartment would easily have worked for our family, had we had better storage solutions! I was pleased seeing that the architects played with boxes and their furniture. I do that every time I move, but using millimeter paper and cutouts of my furniture. Obviously I'm not doing everything wrong! Thank you for your video!
Clever space, briliant respect of original light and views positions ! That bedroom upstairs with the most minimal way to it was game changer ! well done
I really appreciate this design and can see the hours and hours of thinking they put into this layout , definetly worth it I'm sure to live in this space 😊
I have never seen this home-look-alike house in a tiny space! I once felt another bedroom could be managed redesigning the dining and kitchen area - though it lessens the comfort and its real home-look but there leaves a possibility for any moderation for people who are living there, for now it is so perfect. I became a fan of the office space, so functional! Even the house has two balconies! This a home with such separation of rooms, still intertwined so beautifully. I am simply amazed!
OMG 😍 57 seconds in, and the scene is like a Seurat painting. Simply beautiful surroundings, who needs a massive space to upkeep when you live in such a beautiful place.
A seriously well thought out and functional design. I would personally need a bigger fridge and probably a small island but those could easily be worked into the existing floor plan. A finished two story one bedroom apartment that doesn't qualify as a loft should only appreciate in value. Thank you #NevertooSmall for sharing this with us and thank you #Displate for sponsoring this video.
I am so jealous of this space. My apartment is slightly larger but the layout is so much worse. I guess it helps that they have a loft space for the bedroom. But I'd love to see what these architects could do for my space!
The apartment is a lovely, bright airy space. So much hidden storage makes it feel calm and tidy. I could easily live in a space like this! Very well designed!
I live in a 25sqm apartment in Paris, and it is considered decent for only one person. The apartments we see on this channel are amazing, sure, but i would love to see some more space challenged places :)
Very nicely designed home. The only slightly negative thing for me would be to have a window behind my head in the bed. The rest of the apartment was extremely nice. Beautiful contrast of the kitchen with the wood. And the backs of the dining room seats matching the kitchen colour gives great balance. Great work.
This is one of the best projects shared on this channel! It is so well thought and practical! Also, the choice on te materials and colors gives the place a warm and comfy sensation. Good job!
It's not only a beautifully functional layout, but also the fabrics chosen for drapes and flooring have a very warm, earth-tone feel which warms the space up; also the large green plants. A beautiful contrast to some of the overly austere apartments I've seen on this channel recently. Love this one!
A truly terrific and impressive floorplan and interior design. There is natural flow and it makes sense. The living/lounge and dining rooms utilise the abundance of natural light with the bonuses of balconies on each end. The storage solutions are a standout feature.
I’m a fan of these safer staircases not like those generic “modern, multifunctional (which is usually storage space/ bookshelves)” ones. Great place and nice design for sunlight!
Lovely design. Excellent storage. The only bummer is not having a bathroom on the same level as the bedroom. If I lived there alone, I’d sleep in the office and make the upstairs a work space.
I think this is my favorite apartment featured to date. I would move in here tomorrow. It's absolutely beautiful, well thought out, and actually looks livable. Great job to the architects.
Love it, perfect for living/working. It is spacious, clean, and warm looking without doing concessions to the storage. . I can imagine they left the city center to live close by, quiet, green, but next to the lively center.
I love this apartment. I could easily live here! Very calm and enough storage, many small homes have storage that needs to have a double use. This one has a space for everything! Swoon!
Serious apartment envy on this one. Reminds me of the Parisian architects apartment that got me hooked on this channel. Love the repurposed, private bedroom and the visual appeal & function of the storage walls.
I think the connection of oak and black is beautiful. I have such decorations in my kitchen. I like the continuation of esthethic is all areas of apartment.
This is amazingly well done, but definitly not small for Amsterdam. It's actually rather big in my opinion. A seperate living room, bedroom, kitchen and extra spare room?? I wish I had a house this big tbh.

525 sqft is big by Mumbai standards. Here people are selling and buying 450 sqft for 2 BHK
Hi is it possible to get in touch with the owners to ask them who build the custom made cupboards?
Easily one of the best apartment on this channel. Practical and beautiful. The light coming from both ends is utilised perfectly. Kudos to the architects for creating this amazing space!
Totally agree! I would like to add that this is one of very few times that a relatively compact kitchen is properly designed.
Well done!
100 percent. I was hoping there would be an office space and that’s what sold me!
It's beautiful, imaginative and excellent use of space. Modern but with a warmth not many modern apartments have! Lovely couple speaking clear good English. A beautiful city too! A happy future for you!

That yellow wood is so ugly. Looks like an apartment from the 70's.
Frankly, this is one of the nicest layouts I’ve seen in a small space.
The staircase looks so smart, like those hidden ones in the airplane for flight attendants to access to the sleeping area
A bit steep though

I haven't been a huge fan of some of the spaces in recent episodes, but this is beautiful. Simple and spacious.
This was one of the best layout shown here in a while. Very efficient, functional and livable. Nice job!
I love that they used cardboard boxes to see how they live before creating the design. So many designs end up being impractical because the dweller's daily lifestyle isn't taken into account. Great job!
THey were lucky to have access to a big enough space to do this.
So many designers don't have access to a large empty warehouse and a tonne of boxes
One of the best apartments featured on this channel! My favourite part is that the entrance does not lead to the kitchen directly. Loved it!
I love this one, super practical, functional and well-put. However, to be completely fair, I don't consider 49 sqm being "small".

49 sqm is a pretty decent size in Amsterdam! Love those prewar buildings
Especially with the housing market the way it currently is. 49 sqm is large! I'd be lucky to find an apartment of this size nowadays!
I was thinking the same that 49sqm is not what I would consider tiny. I live in a 42sqm and I think it's actually quite spacious
I had the same thoughts, that's a normal spacious apartment. We live in a 35 sqm flat with my SO, and we're fine in here.
@@drunkvegangal8089 Still much better than Hong Kong

OMG 😍 57 seconds in, and the scene is like a Seurat painting. Simply beautiful surroundings, who needs a massive space to upkeep when you live in such a beautiful place.
A seriously well thought out and functional design. I would personally need a bigger fridge and probably a small island but those could easily be worked into the existing floor plan. A finished two story one bedroom apartment that doesn't qualify as a loft should only appreciate in value. Thank you #NevertooSmall for sharing this with us and thank you #Displate for sponsoring this video.
I love the design of this apartment.The lady architect is so beautiful !
I am so jealous of this space. My apartment is slightly larger but the layout is so much worse. I guess it helps that they have a loft space for the bedroom. But I'd love to see what these architects could do for my space!
What a clean, but *comfortable* looking space! This is a lovely design and looks so easily livable.
The apartment is a lovely, bright airy space. So much hidden storage makes it feel calm and tidy. I could easily live in a space like this! Very well designed!
This is the first one where I could picture myself living there, and figuring out where my furniture would fit. Lovely space :)
This is such a smart solution for those tiny Amsterdam apartments. The choice of changing the storage room to bedroom is beyond smart choice.
I live in a 25sqm apartment in Paris, and it is considered decent for only one person. The apartments we see on this channel are amazing, sure, but i would love to see some more space challenged places :)
Very nicely designed home. The only slightly negative thing for me would be to have a window behind my head in the bed. The rest of the apartment was extremely nice. Beautiful contrast of the kitchen with the wood. And the backs of the dining room seats matching the kitchen colour gives great balance. Great work.
This is one of the best projects shared on this channel! It is so well thought and practical! Also, the choice on te materials and colors gives the place a warm and comfy sensation. Good job!
It's not only a beautifully functional layout, but also the fabrics chosen for drapes and flooring have a very warm, earth-tone feel which warms the space up; also the large green plants. A beautiful contrast to some of the overly austere apartments I've seen on this channel recently. Love this one!
A truly terrific and impressive floorplan and interior design.
There is natural flow and it makes sense.
The living/lounge and dining rooms utilise the abundance of natural light with the bonuses of balconies on each end.
The storage solutions are a standout feature.
I’m a fan of these safer staircases not like those generic “modern, multifunctional (which is usually storage space/ bookshelves)” ones. Great place and nice design for sunlight!
I assume The Netherlands have the same laws as Denmark: All stairs must have safe rails and adhere to strict safety regulations.
Really well planned! I'm not a big fan of tiny apartments, but this one is light and airy and has lots of storage. It feels spacious. Love it!
Goed doordacht, smaakvol, en bovenal: sereen. 🙏
The light flowing through this apartment has been embraced beautifully. Love it!
Lovely design. Excellent storage. The only bummer is not having a bathroom on the same level as the bedroom. If I lived there alone, I’d sleep in the office and make the upstairs a work space.
I think this is my favorite apartment featured to date. I would move in here tomorrow. It's absolutely beautiful, well thought out, and actually looks livable. Great job to the architects.
One of the best designs shown in the channel👏👏👏
Never too small never failed to amazed us
Such a cozy home! The warm light that comes in there is magical.
the multifunctional stair/storage section in the center of the apartment is superbly done.
Love it, perfect for living/working. It is spacious, clean, and warm looking without doing concessions to the storage. . I can imagine they left the city center to live close by, quiet, green, but next to the lively center.
LOVE it, this Dutch couple made AN amazing home, well done
What a smart and beautiful apartment, my favourite yet. Very practical and relaxing. I could easily see myself living here.
This apartment is so beautiful 🥺The colors are great and that lighting, wow! Great design!
This is one of my favorite designs shown on this channel. I watched it twice immediately to really appreciate it.
One of the best designs I’ve seen on this channel. Beautiful and practical.
I love this apartment. I could easily live here!
Very calm and enough storage, many small homes have storage that needs to
have a double use. This one has a space for everything!
Swoon!
Very bright, very airy, very well designed.......love the layout
Serious apartment envy on this one. Reminds me of the Parisian architects apartment that got me hooked on this channel. Love the repurposed, private bedroom and the visual appeal & function of the storage walls.
This is my favorite apartment on this channel and i have seen them all ❤️❤️❤️
I think the connection of oak and black is beautiful. I have such decorations in my kitchen. I like the continuation of esthethic is all areas of apartment.
This is amazingly well done, but definitly not small for Amsterdam. It's actually rather big in my opinion. A seperate living room, bedroom, kitchen and extra spare room?? I wish I had a house this big tbh.
🤩 One of the best small apartments I've seen in a long time.
Wow, this layout and use of the storage section in the middle are too brilliant!
oh my god I love this flat so much. The office nook and hidden staircase are to die for
I'm totally in love with this apartment
So nice to see my own neighborhood on this channel after following it for years ❤️
This is by far the best apartment cozy and practical
I love how bright and airy it is. And the office can easily be a guest room.
