    Like many on here, I've seen a ton of these tiny spaces. This is a Master Class. So many great ideas. A lot of the tiny spaces in other videos have clever ideas for saving space, but many seem like they would become awkward and annoying over time. This seems all so livable.

    One of the best designs I've seen on this channel. The space flows well, still feels like a home and isn't too difficult to maneuver. Lots of good fixes that don't sacrifice ergonomics and aren't overly high tech (those sofabeds, for example, look way sturdier and comfier than most pullout couches!) Shoutout to the shower and the kitchen backsplash - the shallow shelves actually work better than a deep shelf for storing condiments and such.

    A lot of small ideas that are pretty neat, put together in the right way to make a genious living space! :D
    Personally I think that this type of appartment, that has convertable, multi use spaces, is the most important answer to the rising housing cost and more dense urban settings.

    • @NochSoEinKaddiFan
      @NochSoEinKaddiFan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Not here to argue about that, you have absolutely valid points that need to be adressed ASAP :)
      In my home town, housing prices are going through the roof as well and no one is really sure why, it just happens. An apartment is now almost as much as a house with garden was. So now image the prices for the house Oo
      On the other hand we can't have suburban settlements grow and grow, they eat up way too much ground. That is why I think living space needs to become more dense. Not crammed like Manhattan or something, but the question do you really have to have a house seems valid to me and I don't think you do. An apartment like this (maybe not by the star achitect so its less expensive) can do a lot for you. When the cities are build in more of a welcoming fashion, as in more green spots, better distributed shopping options, it is a good concept for the future.
      Office, shopping and housing areas should be more mixed and loosened up with small parks so everything is more homogenous and feels less crammed while still housing more people per square meter. And it can cut down on commute load and time when housing and office spaces are more mixed. Everyone could benefit from it.

      NochSoEinKaddiFan Capitalist rule...if they rule, _more_ than the populace are exerting democracy hon...then what u write "prices thru the roof" will happen.
      It's impt to know the top tier/top 1% will want the country to be run as capitalistic arena. They stand to benefit.
      The remaining 99% can easily topple them and revert to "citizens first" "humanity first" ruling and _not_ capitalistic as the way a nation is run...trick is it takes a lot of combined efforts n honestly, truly seeing the top 1% as what they are....and not getting duped or embroiled in their flowery language.
      Housing/shelter costs that are "thru the roof" is like saying a human body has cancer...stop running a country like capitalistic arena and there is space for hope else....get used to being a hamster.
      Running....running on that wheel...round round round...age 50..60......70 and we still slave for the top 1%. Choose well. Choose wise.

    • @NochSoEinKaddiFan
      @NochSoEinKaddiFan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The problem is not capitalism, the problem is the need to always grow. Unlimited growth destroys every system, no matter how the system is built or what it does.
      I've been listening to Simon Sinek a lot lately and I think he hits the nail on the head. But that's just my opinion.

      @NochSoEinKaddiFan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually, May: I had a hard time figuring out what you were trying to say, because it is not exactly textbook english. And while Mr. Slade didn't choose the nicest words, he has a point: problems arise, when people don't play by the rules. And usually there is always a top 1%, because until now we have mostly relied on revolutions that only turn a system on it's head instead of rebuilding it completely.
      So, May. Don't just ignore everything you don't like, face critique and grow with it, refine your world view with outside opinions like from Mr. Slade.

This integration of design is definitely difficult but it is really worth for the people who would be using it in their small homes and surely will make it a better place to stay.

      @megaangelic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You could take elements. Such as the big wall of the bedroom, it doesn't need to be a thick cabinet, it could be just one large wood panel, it would then still provide you with the ability to hide away the bedroom into the wall, and all you to create two separate rooms. You'd only lose those cabinets in that bit of wall. But in reality, they're so shallow they aren't useful anyway. You can still have the window etc. The cabinets either side of the Murphy bed can be replaced with standard IKEA cabinetry. The Murphy bed itself can be a standard basic Murphy bed. The overall effect would have very little difference to this in appearance and functionality. But at a fraction of the cost. Most of this apartment can be achieved by combining IKEA furniture, and a little DIY.

  • @ladylena1918

    I think this space is beautiful and luxurious in its simplicity. I can't believe that this sort of detailed design (or at least elements of it) isn't the norm for every interior space. I know this design was for a studio apartment but I think many people who live in apartments or small houses (myself included) who would also benefit from this clever design.

      Dumble Door you lost me at "easily" Yes, you could use some of these ideas in a tiny house, but augmenting them with width constraints isn't easy. Also some of the ideas wouldn't be as functional in a tiny house. I feel you too easily use the word "easily."
      Also regardless of if we "can" use these tricks for a tiny house, it'd be interesting to see how this guy would design a tiny house. There may be other tricks up his sleeve or ideas he'd come up with, when pressed with an even smaller size. It's easier to design for bigger spaces, it's harder to design for smaller ones. Nothing "easy" about it. But for me it's definitely more fun! :)

      I especially think his shower door idea could be adapted to a tiny house. I hate the "wet bath" concept, and this looks like it could be used in tiny houses to maximize bathroom space without resorting to that.
      His multiple-use philosophy is key in tiny house design, though he'd have to adapt a lot to a tiny house situation, the way he thinks seems like it would serve him well. Tiny houses seem to adapt well to vertically doing things (loft above kitchen/bath, etc), rather than horizontally, but his brain seems to work in the right way.

    One of the best. I love everything about it. Although initially, I thought the hydraulics on the table was frivolous but then it served its purpose. One if the better designed tiny spaces. Bravo🙌🏼👏🏽

    Really amazing design. Beautifully clean and simple, modern in style but what a feat in well planned design and engineering.

    I would like to see these design principals incorporated into a container home that is totally off grid!!! Also it would be great if it had the new Tesla solar roof!

    I know when I'm sharing a 1 room apartment with 5 other people, being able to use the bathroom sink at the same time as someone else is showering is a must lol

    I love the movable wall, that is ingenious! I’m not a fan of Murphy beds but this system is used perfectly here. The whole apartment is incredibly well designed! And I really love the way the designer executed everything and worked around the limitations. This is one of the best designs I’ve seen yet! Truly inspiring.
    However, everything about this flat feels like a secondary home or a weekend getaway. The thing with the movable wall is ingenious but I’m not sure I’d wanna do that on a daily basis. The bathroom is cleverly designed, but after showering at least half of the floor is gonna be wet. And the kitchen is clearly designed for someone who rarely eats in; I’d go as far as saying it wouldn’t even work for someone who uses it regularly. Also, there are very few places where one could hang pictures, giving the place a kind of hotel or high-end AirBnB vibe.
