This is the very first video that I've ever watched on this channel, and still remains as one of my absolute favourite apartment designs. It's simple yet functional and comfortable. Would love to live there
Shelf by the bed should be bigger, but I'm starting to like the closet in the bathroom, although that closet also needed to be a little bigger. It makes sense cuz you need space to change but not to sleep. On that topic, the bed would be better raised with storage beneath, but this is better for sex. This way you can hang the sling over the bed.
@@davidf2244 I am not a fan of bathroom closet, just because of moisture. I would maybe make it full slide out closet accessible from both sides (slide perpendicular to the wood screen)
Its starting to get there. But there is a few flaws: 1. There isn't enough storage for clothes. Its possible you need to add another cabinet under the bed and elevate it so its a 2 step stairway instead of 1, just to get more storage. 2. Entryway has no separation. 3. All areas share the same moisture and temperature levels
@77 To be honest, the apartments displayed on this channel are filled with series of compromises, which is totally fine. Some smaller, some bigger, but it also comes down to the people living in the apartments and their preferences. Smart solutions may not always be 100% 'ergonomic' so to speak, but this apartment is pretty close to perfect in my eyes. So personally I wouldn't mind having a 5 to 10 second break to let someone out from the bed area if I was living here and making a breakfast. Thanks for bringing me back here, time to have a first rewatch of 2024.
I would wash my bed three times a year if I had that bed. Looks like a pain in the ass to make with the three walls surrounding it and no walking space around it (I say this from experience).
@@Grindisc Literally one foot of walking space surrounding the bed. One foot. That is not much. Have you ever tried making a bed surrounded by 3 walls before? Also, I have zero complaints about the size of the rest of the apartment. It's not like I'm criticizing each and every room for not being big enough. Personally, I don't need that much space, but I know what my needs and wants are.
The large windows are definitely a crucial element in making the space feel larger and more open. Even with all the ways they made it feel open, etc. having windows that go the entire length of the apartment is what prevents it from feeling cramped.
@@peddlingfalsehoods6321 if the windows are facing south, then it has the best natural lighting possible. North facing windows are the complete opposite
The idea of living in such a small, maintainable, minimal space is really appealing to me. I like the idea of home being simple, so after the chaos of outside, you can return to something visually and physically comfortable.
I live in a 24sqm apartment and I love my tiny home. Now, of course I won't live here forever but for the time being this works for me well. You can fit surprisingly a lot of things in it without feeling too stuffed. I for example have a bathtub, a piano and a convertible sofa for guests. The space is enough for one to live in it. It feels cozy and I feel like it shows my personality to guests.
Compared to all the videos about tiny apartments I've seen, this one is my absolute favorite. Especially the sliding door idea, although I can totally see myself getting annoyed by it after 3 months 😂😂
I bet it wouldn't stay as clean and organized as this after 1 hour. Those wooden slates would end up being their community bonfire wood on a fall night. 😳
Apart from the kitchen and bathroom it seams quite cheap if it was a college dorm they may do this design but without all the fancy bathroom furniture shower, sink etc
@@alex-go8mw I also think that it is useless since both the kitchen and the bed space look so good and minimal. The sliding thing gets on your way in your day to day life.
This is the most perfect use of a space i have ever seen in my Entire life i want to live there it looks great and pretty and it’s an amazing design and great choice of colors. good job
It's not really much colors involved it's mostly white if we don't include the bathroom I think. But yeah I guess white color kind of makes the space look bigger . I absolutely loved this even tho I'd like to see some curtains there and maybe a TV cause I didn't see one !
@@Alvin_Vivian there's nothing wrong in having this kind of dream. I think it's best to dream realistically than to dream of something that could be out of reach.
If you think about it, it's actually annoying. It looks very good but you'll need to slide it everytime when you move from the bed to the kitchen / viceversa
You can't get to the kitchen if you want a glass of water during the night and if after the glass of water you need the bathroom you have to slide that door again. A sort of collapsable thing would be better
I believe that a lighter weight woven bamboo/reed accordian panel or even attractive somewhat translucent fabric curtain on rings/pole might be a better choice for that reason.

@@jimbb I feel like people like him don't know how much things like wood, furniture and tools cost. You could rent an apartment that size, but you probably won't be allowed to change it like this anyways. If you would be allowed, you'd basically invest thousands of dollars into an apartment you don't even own. I think "HoldMyBeer" has no idea what he is talking about.
@@SilvaDreams I'm one of them. Certainly not uncomfortable or similar to a Mcdonalds bathroom. You can't expect everyone to live in 3 stories maisons or in 200 sq.m. apartments nowadays considering the living costs.
The way this apartment fully exploit the efficient use of space, gives me some sort of satisfying calmness. It's like accomplishing an 100% achievement. Elegant, simple and unique. Big things comes in small packages.
@@sasukecoochieha it depends on the build. People can do tiny houses for like $5000-10000. If they have a cheap place to park it, its way cheaper than an apartment, plus they own it and can move it.
Honestly if my first apartment was set up like this, I would NEVER move 😭! This type of set essentially forces you to be minimalistic and I love that aspect about it. In the future, I hope to be come more minimal
Just spectacular vision and use of space! Feels so luxe and minimal at the same time ... and that kitchen! Was blown away at how much storage you have!
@L i mean that its in the nature of the woman they always first think about the kitchen but i don't know what you are getting from comment or you may feel i just ask something immoral ur unethical or something else that i did a big blunder and you feel proud in giving me punishment for that comment 😕😕😕😐😐😐
@@RandomVideos-ef6vz the culture between western and middle east towards women is very different, maybe in your country, women's life should be in the kitchen and nursering their babies but here, women are seen as equal as their counterparts, I don't blame you for saying that, you were raised thinking that women are basically a housemaid, but just know that what you said can make other people feel offended, so yeah.. definitely shouldn't say that in public/internet (especially in a western website)
How he managed to design and fit all his living needs in that small space so nicely is amazing. I can't even even fit all the shopping in the fridge without it looking like a pig's mess
Kartar Bhogal because he can’t afford to eat or buy anything. All his money is going to 3,000 in rent for an apartment the size of a bathroom in a major metropolitan city.
The design and the result are quite impressive, but let's cut the crap: If you have enough money for these kinds of modifications, you're not living in such a small apartment. Or in reverse: If you're renting such a tiny apartment, you could never afford these modifications.
But it's good to know the design ideas in case you want to incorporate it into your own home to make everything more practical (or if you are designing an apartment for people)
Agreed. Where does he get work done? They didn't show his giant architect blueprints, or his work desk, or storage space for his paperwork. Assuming he has a female partner, where does she sit her flat iron in that counterless bathroom? Do they both only own 1 tshirt and 1 pair of shoes? 😂
@@gladitsnotme He probably gets work done in the office. But as to storage space for two people... yeahhhh I dunno. Maybe they're hardcore minimalists?
Well, they pretty much just told you the secret to building one yourself for even cheaper minus the extra fee for design. Just pay for the labor and design it yourself. Cheap.
Great use of space. Imagine five of these stacked together as an apt building with a lift on one side, a staircase on the other and balcony terraces on the staircase. It could be the next alternative to small houses.
Yeah, in Sweden a lot of the student apartments are about 12 square meters, not including the bathroom (about 4 square meters) but including the kitchen area.
I must have watched this episode a hundred times, and every time I view it I love it even more. The design and the finishes are perfect. Brad Swartz is the most amazing architect. To be able to turn the before into the after, is a masterpiece. 🥰🥰🥰
@@LucasRodrigues-ik7fg just a real unhealthy "mindset" would say that having a healthy body which requires discipline and nutritionism knowledge is a "unhealthy mindset". Add that to the fact I'm a programmer and DB analyst student which is far way from the reality of someone who also cares about the body as I do and virse-versa, you can see how healthy I am my friend. But if you are just saying that cause I talked about Minecraft, I can't argue with you anymore, I'm afraid your mindset may be contagious.
It actually looks really nice, especially because only the living room and bedroom seem smaller than usual. The kitchen, bathroom, and even dining room/space look all spacious for such a small space.
I doubt it was super expensive. Drywall is rather cheap and so is basic concrete tile. I feel the most expensive part would've been the hardwood flooring/slider and the large mirrors and glass panes.
@Tara Lang that is unless you designed it and built it yourself. Small drawer dishwashers aren't super expensive and are usually common dimensions. But I defidently can see how it'd be expensive if you contracted the work out to someone else.
Elu the landlords don’t always make as large f a profit at you think. In nyc taxes are high and many owners are making money but only enough that when the building needs repairs/work they have $ avail to do the work
@@allaroundgoodtimes in my opinion, there should be no landlords. They're an unnecessary middle man. I won't shed a tear if they reap no profit at all.
Beumadine Sweevy dude i dont like 5g either but dont come for people that like small fucking spaces, all i said was i like the layout not that im moving into an apartment with annoying ass humans who all say the exact same thing with slightly different wording
I like the "strong divide between what's sleeping and what's living." Very appropriate for the WFH lifestyle more so with the present situation brought by the pandemic. 😊😊😊
As a student who lived 4 years in dormitories in Turkey, Germany and Poland; i would say the same thing. Everybody can’t afford 2+1 apartments and it is not necessary anyway if you want to live alone. I prefer one single room instead of living with 4 people in a big house and fighting about cleaning every day.
To be honest. If i had a busy life, a lot of friends and a good job... I would totally life in that house. But cuz i like to be home as much as possible i dont think i can live there.. But the place looks really chiccc♡♡
Micro apartments are literally for architects stroking their egos or expanding portfolio. These apartments are too small to provide reasonable housing comfort but too expensive as there is a lot of architectural design investment.
Abdullah Abd As someone who has lived in New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo, I think there’s definitely needs in the market for small apartments. Not all places around the world has the luxury to enjoy large living spaces.
I lived in a 6x10 foot apartment in NYC for 9 years. That’s 60 square feet. By the time I left I fit in shelving all around, a loft for my queen size bed, a desk for my laptop, a mini fridge, a rice cooker, a small couch and a TV. I was quite comfortable and got my nursing degree before I moved out of there. Different lifestyles for everyone and some people can be quite happy in a small, even tiny space. I do agree that these spaces should be cheap, so having expensive finishing kind of defeats the purpose.
After living in a big house for some time, and consuming hours just to maintain it even if I live simple, I'll be going small and this one looks a good example for me.
This design must have a reward. the comparisson about the before and after and how a dark and sad place can turn into a shinning and bright place just with some effort and a little of creativity.
Its quite literally perfect. I usually find small changes to make in these apartments but I couldn't find any on this one. I could literally build this as is without a single change the only addition would be blackout curtains not designs changes because I don't like to be woken by bright light or sleep in any kind of light coming through.
Everyone Talking about the lack of washing machine but I am seeing another impracticality here: with the bed flanked by walls on the 3 sides, must be hell to change bedcovers
If its kind to my pocket and rents or buying it I'll go through hell to change those covers anyday😂😂😂this layout is the layout I have looked for for ages without having to change a single thing.
mermaidsoy it would leave me breathless but it would work. It seems like he tucked the mattress so I’m guessing he might just be putting it on and then pushing the edges in like they do in hotels
I'm single and an introvert.... And that seems suffocating. That place is barely bigger than my room in my current place and it feels tight with just my bed and desk.
Yeah, I think this is a crucial part in fixing all of these small apartments. In pretty much all of the examples they have installed a lot of windows and a lot of sunlight access, I think it creates the sensation that the apartment is bigger than it is.
I think everyone has their own definition on what a good life quality is. Some people rather live in the City and enjoy an urban life, while others want to live in the Countryside with a lot of space...
Couldn't agree more! People are getting less and less for their money and they're fooled by expensive soap, a clean aesthetic and some clever marketing. There should be space standards that prevent developer from selling/renting this kind of thing
to be fair, they didn't just up and decide to build a small apartment. they're renovating old apartment buildings built in the 1960s, trying to make that space livable again.
I had a rough day today! I literally smiled, as soon as I saw the notification from you guys. I hope you guys start uploading every week. I know it’s tough. A lot of work goes into it. Thanks.
I’d rather live in a big house than live like rats in this small apartments. This is essentially the real estate moguls dream, they want you to live like this so they can buy bigger house for themselves.
264 Likes to this comment in 4 days which is mind boggling. Do any one of those likes even own property? especially in Sydney? That property is probably worth around $600-700k, the refurb would not cost anywhere near 10% and maybe even less if you know people in the construction industry. All plumbing and power fixtures remain where they are, its all aesthetics. I would be shocked if it cost more than $30k labour inclusive.
hello, the way I use the online interior and fashion design channels is for ideas and inspiration. When I see an idea I like I modify and reproduce it to fit my needs and budget.

Why is it that a “micro apartment” is bigger then a “tiny house” ?
Lol true
no its not
I live in a 24 sqm apartment and I never saw it as extraordinarily small lol, it‘s just a one bedroom no big deal.
I think the tiny house is just as expensive tho, right?
@@sasukecoochieha it depends on the build. People can do tiny houses for like $5000-10000. If they have a cheap place to park it, its way cheaper than an apartment, plus they own it and can move it.
Honestly if my first apartment was set up like this, I would NEVER move 😭! This type of set essentially forces you to be minimalistic and I love that aspect about it. In the future, I hope to be come more minimal

Gosh that apartment is beautiful. Well done with being creative *-*
This is a beautifully designed home. Love the use of big windows, minimal color scheme, and effiency to create spaciousness.
The design and the result are quite impressive, but let's cut the crap: If you have enough money for these kinds of modifications, you're not living in such a small apartment.
Or in reverse: If you're renting such a tiny apartment, you could never afford these modifications.
Some people just don't want a lot of space.
But it's good to know the design ideas in case you want to incorporate it into your own home to make everything more practical (or if you are designing an apartment for people)
Agreed. Where does he get work done? They didn't show his giant architect blueprints, or his work desk, or storage space for his paperwork. Assuming he has a female partner, where does she sit her flat iron in that counterless bathroom? Do they both only own 1 tshirt and 1 pair of shoes? 😂

I felt this comment on a whole other level.
It probably is, too
Well, they pretty much just told you the secret to building one yourself for even cheaper minus the extra fee for design. Just pay for the labor and design it yourself. Cheap.

I would go for the house anyway.
Really clever use of space. The light from the window is everything xx

It is a gorgeous apartment, but Jesus this must have been expensive
I doubt it was super expensive. Drywall is rather cheap and so is basic concrete tile. I feel the most expensive part would've been the hardwood flooring/slider and the large mirrors and glass panes.
@Tara Lang that is unless you designed it and built it yourself. Small drawer dishwashers aren't super expensive and are usually common dimensions. But I defidently can see how it'd be expensive if you contracted the work out to someone else.
@Tara Lang LOL WHO TF NEEDS ALL THAT

As a student who lived 4 years in dormitories in Turkey, Germany and Poland; i would say the same thing. Everybody can’t afford 2+1 apartments and it is not necessary anyway if you want to live alone. I prefer one single room instead of living with 4 people in a big house and fighting about cleaning every day.

To be honest. If i had a busy life, a lot of friends and a good job... I would totally life in that house. But cuz i like to be home as much as possible i dont think i can live there.. But the place looks really chiccc♡♡
Micro apartments are literally for architects stroking their egos or expanding portfolio.
These apartments are too small to provide reasonable housing comfort but too expensive as there is a lot of architectural design investment.
As an architect I can confirm
Abdullah Abd As someone who has lived in New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo, I think there’s definitely needs in the market for small apartments. Not all places around the world has the luxury to enjoy large living spaces.
I lived in a 6x10 foot apartment in NYC for 9 years. That’s 60 square feet. By the time I left I fit in shelving all around, a loft for my queen size bed, a desk for my laptop, a mini fridge, a rice cooker, a small couch and a TV. I was quite comfortable and got my nursing degree before I moved out of there. Different lifestyles for everyone and some people can be quite happy in a small, even tiny space. I do agree that these spaces should be cheap, so having expensive finishing kind of defeats the purpose.
where i live, 24sqm is considered a normal size home,. And we could always copy these design even just the layout without spending so much

Thank you for featuring us Never Too Small! Your videos are always beautifully put together.
Its quite literally perfect. I usually find small changes to make in these apartments but I couldn't find any on this one. I could literally build this as is without a single change the only addition would be blackout curtains not designs changes because I don't like to be woken by bright light or sleep in any kind of light coming through.
Great job. Design is very satisfying.

The best part of the house is the windows with great sunlight & great view. Period.
Yeah, I think this is a crucial part in fixing all of these small apartments. In pretty much all of the examples they have installed a lot of windows and a lot of sunlight access, I think it creates the sensation that the apartment is bigger than it is.

Couldn't agree more! People are getting less and less for their money and they're fooled by expensive soap, a clean aesthetic and some clever marketing. There should be space standards that prevent developer from selling/renting this kind of thing

When the cost of refurbishment is higher than the apartment itself.
264 Likes to this comment in 4 days which is mind boggling. Do any one of those likes even own property? especially in Sydney? That property is probably worth around $600-700k, the refurb would not cost anywhere near 10% and maybe even less if you know people in the construction industry. All plumbing and power fixtures remain where they are, its all aesthetics. I would be shocked if it cost more than $30k labour inclusive.
