With a focus on sustainability, quality and fostering a strong sense of community, 122 Roseneath St is a project designed around flexible, shared spaces including a multi-purpose communal room, a bike workshop/laundry and an open terrace with a barbeque area and herb gardens. This 55m2 apartment has been designed for open plan living, with the kitchen located on a side wall to allow flexibility in furniture placement and a cleverly designed small study space behind the bedroom. The main feature is a flexible interior sliding door which increases the available light and volume when open, but when closed separates the bedroom and study from the living area for extra privacy and flexibility.
122 Roseneath St is a collaboration between Fieldwork Projects and like-minded developers Assemble Communities, Wuff Projects and Icon Developments.

it's rare that I like everything in an apartment but this one is just perfect, I'm truly in awe
👍🏼 One of the most inviting urban projects.....! ✌🏼😎
😻
@@wilmaknickersfit Exactly, and I wonder if there is a lift/elevator to reach the upper floors.
I was just composing in my head, before writing exactly the same as you !! Its perfect, I would move in somewhere like this tomorrow, if I could find this in the UK.
The same here! Can you believe today I was drawing a way smaller loft and it’s very much the same layout, though the style is a little different. I picked some ideas to polish my design.
I want to be as calm as this lady.
:))
That voice... So soothing
You need a proper bland of tea for that
She sounds artifical.
@@tangocash342 Idk, a bland tea makes me lots of things, but not calm.
I'm often critical of apartments that make use of creative-but-impractical ways to utilize a small space, but this one looks eminently workable. I particularly like the sliding doors that can close off the bedroom and study, which would save me tidying time when visitors came! Storage space is limited, especially in the kitchen, but I suppose I could use some of the study space for a storage closet. I like the sense of community that is encouraged here!
YES IKR
you new here?
@@MexLEon1 ?????
Most of these “spaces” are a joke
The bathroom is the only part I see an issue with b/c there is no separation from the shower to the towels.
"Living in an apartment should enhance rather than compromise your amenities" - what a concept! This home design is exceptionally good. She has designed for long-term living, unlike many places which seem to really just be hotel rooms.
"Living in an apartment should enhance, rather than compromise, your amenity." - So true, and so rarely recognized, sadly.
I highly value a dedicated study/work area especially since COVID. This is one of the relatively small apartment designs (55sqm for a couple and pets) that really made an effort to put a serious work area as opposed to gimmicky fold-out-a-work-desk approach that I often see.
I have a study in my apartment, which is used to be able to close the door and be alone. But i have more than one person living with me, and mine has a window. This one is a gimmick: if you close the door you'll be in a closet, not a room. And secondly, who are you hiding from there?
@@gavrikss I mean it sounds like you live in a larger corner apartment if your study has the luxury of having its own window. Given the floorplan, I think it's a decent work area. Much better than many of the so called work areas featured in this channel.
@@LycisAhara mine is 63m2. It has separate kitchen 8m, living area 17 and three separate rooms 10+10+7. Each room and kitchen has at least one window. This is a variation of Khrushchev era building which is very common all across Russia.
I mean, the design is nice in colors but there are so many flaws in it, which are common through a lot of modern renovation projects: no drying area, washing machine in the living room, too many doors covering things making it harder to use them.
Love the fact that it's so breathable, every apartment should have end to end balconies to soak in natural light. We need to build similar spaces in India. The is by far the best apartment on never too small. Please don't make us wait too long we need more videos please.
Yes!! More videos, please!
@Anna M your enthusiasm is contagious!! Have a blessed day in India - from the US.
Yes I agree it’s lovely.
What I love the most is the communal spaces that are environmentally conscious. The use of solar power and water storage tanks is brilliant! Now tenants aren’t spending an arm and a leg in rent to cover the cost of amenities and landscaping! 🤩
Solar power on communal parts of new build apartments is basically mandatory with the current efficiency standards, it's not something to brag about.
@@bananaman420 efficiency standards where? I have never seen anything like that in Europe and its a great idea.
problem is the solar panels require destructive mining for their rare earth metals; and they're usually not recycled properly aka just dumped in African countries. same goes for wind mills. renewable energy is not as perfect as environ(mental) activists like to screech.
@@nobody-bx3pq this is in Melbourne, Australia. The bca vol2 has maximum common area energy usage per sqm that's aggressive and a majority of developers are using solar to meet it.
It’s Australia. Everyone is spending an arm and a leg in rent.
After I found this channel, I realized that I have a totally different definition of "small".
Damn, these houses are already BIG for me.
This facility looks like from some utopian society with perfect harmony in life
Yes, but a Utopian society based on facts not fantasy! (I appreciate that survey’s were utilized by the architects).
The bike shop and patisserie (with outside cafe) were wonderful additions to this build. It just feels good, every bit of it.
La tu ya por si acaso
Which means there’s definitely a seemingly benign AI system somewhere which is hiding the horrifying secret that it’s developed sentience and is plotting to murder all of the residents
@@iamawuss There is that.
Check up the prices later, and you will see how "Utopic" it's
I love their concept with shared community, open spaces and the idea of not comprising your way of living just because you live in an apartment. Its very welcoming and eye pleasing :)
A BIKE WORKSHOP? That is an AMAZING addition to a communal space.
It's the most Melbourne thing I've ever seen.
@@Starfireaw11 would be the perfect in Holland/The Netherlands
The poor emaciated doggo!!! I assume it's a rescue and is being brought back to a healthy weight, but it broke my heart to see all those bones through the skin, especially at 6:47...
I know! how has no one else commented on this. I really hope he is a rescue and being brought back to a healthy weight. I can't stop tearing up thinking about it :-(
I thought he looked like an old dog. They have trouble keeping weight on sometimes.
I know right! I love greyhounds and have one myself. It broke my heart as well! 99% of the time when someone says a greyhound is "too skinny" they mean well but just don't know what greyhounds naturally look like. Well, this is the 1%. That poor dog... his/her hip bones!!
i was looking for a comment about the dog. 😢😢😢
we badly need confirmation
Horrifying, I was so sad 😭
The apartment is north facing.
My mind: That is great less direct sunlight.
Also my mind: this is the southern hemisphere
It's the ideal direction... like a southern-facing window here in the northern hemisphere. Lots of winter sun (well, lots for winter, that is) and not direct sun in the summer (especially with overhangs).
I'm so confused by sun directions! I'm in the USA. If I don't want too much sun in the summer, which direction should my apartment face?
(I don't understand north& south, only that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West).
@@everhirstseyt2667 No wonder you are in the US when you don't get the easiest things.
@@everhirstseyt2667 You are kidding!
No need for rudeness sweetie. I am an immigrant and couldn't be happier to live in the US. Very excited to purchase my home soon.
So... In the USA, south facing= hot sun in summer?
Dear "peace", the person who replied to you wasn't clear. At all.
My need for a smaller apartment gets stronger with each video I watch 😭
❤️❤️❤️❤️
1) i love kitchens that are just placed against the wall without coming out like a breakfast bar or something 2) i love the dividing door for her bedroom mainly cus it doesn’t feel clunky and like it will break soon 3) the color palette overall is calming and ethereal
this apartment is really perfect but i don't consider 55sqm is small. In Berlin, lots of people live in 20~30 sqm micro apartments and over 40sqm, not considered small :D
Berlin appartments are quite big compared to most other cities though, thanks to the relatively short time since the wall fell and big spaces where to be had for low money. Cost is still comparatively low unless you come into the city today. Many residents are still on older rental contracts and have three digit square meters for three or low four digit euro rents. It's just that the city is growing so fast that there's almost no new appartments added in comparison and mobility is slowing down so if you are in need for a new one you pay top euros now.
I live in Toronto and 55sqm is pretty average for a one bedroom lol, so I agree that it’s not small, small.
came to say the same thing, my last apartment in Amsterdam was 51sqm, current one is a whole 4sqm bigger.
Looove the huge windows and the terrace, the layout of the apartment and the color scheme! 😍
I would only change one thing - I would put the bed in that study space and the desks in front of those awesome windows. I think it's a waste to spend hours working in that small space looking at the wall. Also, having a bed in a space without direct sunlight is more cozy, and when you sleep, you don't see the view anyway. 🙃
Exactly what I was thinking!!
Wouldn't have passed building regulations if the study and bedroom had switched places. In Australia a bedroom space must have windows.
@@duck7237 l don’t think the council would know or care if you put the bed in the study though (if it fits). It does make sense especially during lockdown to use the larger and brighter room as the office space. Alternatively you could have a Murphy bed in the bedroom and put it up during the day and have two study areas.
@@kismetau yeah, I agree. That would be your choice after you've moved in. But they would never had got plans through council planning and received planning permission if it had been designed that way. That was my only point.
It's a very personal thing. I've noticed a few people have commented on this video and said a similar thing about preferring to have the bedroom in the dark section and the study in the light. Personally, it's not for me. I like the way they have it already. But either way, I was just talking about the actual design of the apartment rather than how people use it once it's completed. Each to their own I guess!
With computers it's better to be in a darker environment for the sake of your eyes. Computer screens are harder to see in sunlight, also they need to be kept cool. In Australia, having access to the outside is vital as not everyone has air conditioning, most housing is built without it.
I love she is the architect and lives there too.
The space is wonderful, great use of the sliding doors and the depth of the balcony! ❤️
The glass door in the shower was great too
I love this perspective on communal living, especially as a New Yorker. Communal living here is nearly inescapable. I also must say that as a "never too small" feature, this would be a large 1 br in NYC! I appreciate that there must be more room in Melbourne and they are choosing this smaller space.
The urban design aspect of this project is amazing, really like how to apartment complex merges so seamlessly with the public landscape!
I absolutely LOVE this one! I could easily see myself living there. The separate office space also has the potential doen the road to become a nursery if needed. Beyond the apartment itself, I’m in love with the communal spaces!! I wish every apartment building could be designed with that in mind.
🥰 thank you for your support Maritsa !
Love everything about this apartment and building. The landscaping, architecture, communal spaces, the small cafe at the entrance, the light, etc. my dream apartment!
Really nice, can close door on office space, so much greenery. Love it.
One of my favorite showings on this channel! I’d take that apartment in a heartbeat and the only addition I could think of is maybe having a window (possibly frosted glass) on the wall between the bedroom and study to bring some of that gorgeous light into the office space. Such a lovely way to use every bit of space so practically.
These videos seem to always be so calming
never too small never fails to impress... open plan Design ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much for your support ! 🙏
Love this apartment! If it was mine I would have switched the bedroom and study room to sleep in a window less space and have a work space with a view, but that's just my personal preference and needs. Still awesome nonetheless! The shared community space is a nice cherry on the cake.
Me too!
Why was the first version of this video removed yesterday?
Big fan of Fieldwork architects, would love to see their other projects.
Big fan here too! High five 🙌
I personally would switch places of study and bedroom... especially if two person are working from home. Drives me crazy thinking to spend entire day in a boxy space with absolutely no day light. it should be other way around really...
Yes and you wouldn't need to worry about blackout blinds.
I really like the whole experience through the space, the lighting, the materials, the colour pallete! But I will definetely agree with this comment, i think people spend quite a lot of time in their working space, therefore a good amount of light, views, ventilation and space are really important in my opinion. The bedroom is usually only used at night so I believe if the 2 rooms where switched we would have the perfect appartment!:) Amazing work though!
This is a great observation. I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it
In Australia it is a requirement that bedrooms have windows. It wouldn't have passed building reg if it had been switched with the study.
Don't know about others, but I only use my bedroom for sleeping (and other adult things 😏), so throughout the day it's not used. I'd prefer a tiny bedroom and more living space. Windows in every room would be ideal if apartments didn't have to share walls, but sometimes it's not possible.
I'm a very long time, if the first time that i find a project this flawless. The overall approach, the details, the materials, everything
The pedestrian streets with gardens. Sigh. So lovely.
I wish apartments in NYC were like this. It provide greater flexibility to those with smaller apartments which is the majority of NYC residents.
This is why we do Never Too Small , to share and inspire :-)
This is my fav! I love how u can close off the bedroom specially when you are cooking. The apartment is also very spacious where you can just stretch ur legs comfortably ! The balcony is just the cherry on top! My only drawback would be having no natural light/window in the study area. Absolutely love this home!
Would definitely love to see more of the other units and townhouses given how well executed the design of this unit is.
Desk! Desk! I love when these have room for workspaces.
Some green touch is new to me and it turns amazing
Human beings need to live amongst greenery to feel right. It's wonderful
I think I would've switched the study with the bedroom. I can study/work best, when I have natural day-light and can sit in front of a window, but i don't necessarily need natural night for sleeping
It makes sense, i love it, goes to show that you really don't need a 3 storry house with 14 rooms and what not, minimalism and effective space utilization is the way to go, overcomplicating matters fills your life with worries and doesn't make it a condusive space to be at ease
I love the housing concepts where you extend you living space to other communal areas 😍😍😍 I would love to see more of those
The whole setup feels very organic and the layout of wooden furnitures surprisingly make the space bigger than it actually is.
"should enhance rather than compromise..." These architects totally nailed every detail a communal space could need
👌🏽🌱👌🏽 Well done.
The apartment stands out for its efficiency thanks to several factors. Firstly, the sliding door offers flexibility and contributes to a feeling of spaciousness in the space. Additionally, the built-in kitchen shelf makes organization easy, while designated spaces for appliances ensure greater efficiency in the use of space.
This project is excellent, the height transition between the building and the street is fascinating, providing a fluid connection with the urban environment without isolating the building. Communal spaces encourage social interaction between residents and passers-by, enriching the user experience.
This is exactly my dream apartment!! Everything is just so perfectly built. When she said, "Living in an apartment should enhance rather than compromise your amenities" is an absolutely gorgeous concept and that is why I like the idea of living in an apartment. Gonna save this video for my future refs! 💚💛
as someone who loves houseplants and is always struggling to give them enough light the balcony and north facing windows are a dream! the kitchen space is also generous with the addition of the table and the communal workshop is fantastic, i love diy but living in a small (carpeted) apartment makes doing projects difficult. i would love to live in a space like this
Everything about this video is perfect; the design, eco friendly, the calm lady aaaand THE DOG! 😍😍
I would love an apartment like this! I think it's the perfect size for 1-2 people. But, I bet it is expensive! One can dream.
If you listen to this Lady‘s voice, before going to sleep, you will live 10 yrs longer, will have more energy next day, potential and happiness!
The refrigerator blocks light from the window, but other that that, this apt is just pure perfection
Appreciate the land acknowledgements at the start
Finally an apartment that doesn't look like an all-white Ikea cube. One of my favourites on this channel for sure
Feasibility done right incoroperating the outside facade merging the interior along=brilliance
i literally see these apartments everyday from the train, i swear ive never clicked on a video so fast in a while when i recognised the building
That place is amazing, I love the thought of community between neighbors and the greenery put into the place. It just feels lively.
Having come from watching a NTS video of a white, black, & concrete design, I really appreciate the warmth and subtle color in this apartment. The other felt very industrial, which has zero appeal to me. This one feels like somewhere friendly people live, not robots.
Her enthusiasm to the project is,, somniferous.
Considering that she lives there, I would disagree .
This apartment complex makes so much sense. One of my absolute favourites. Kudos 🤍
I'm a faithful and great lover of colors such as charcoal and some grays and shades of dawn, it's the most modern and sophisticated thing that can be, both for a house and an apartment. IMHO!
I agree with all of the comments here, this appartment is just beautiful...
I love how the integrated the laundry in that small space I find it so satisfying
The only thing I would have trouble with is the study room it seems too "locked up". I say this as someone who has felt too overwhelmed while working/studying at home specially during this quarantine 😅
I really like what they have done for entire complex, and yes, living in a multi-apartment house can and should make thing better for all participants, it is achieved greatly with proper communal spaces. The apartment itself is awesome. Very nice use of space and light. I wish more architects learn from this
One of the best designs! not just the apartment but the entire condo project. This is how small living in the city should look like- it extends out beyond the private area with high quality shared amenities. The only question- why have a washer in the apartment if there's a shared industrial one on the ground level? would've saved a lot of storage space in the apartment. Other than that- beautiful, practical, thoughtful.
In times of Covid, l’m happy to have space for my own washer.
its always good to have a back up !
What a lovely community minded space. I loved the communal spaces to entertain.
This apartment is about the size of mine, and while mine isn't as "smart", it's perfectly comfortable, perfect for one person. The main advantage this one has over mine is the ability to have a separate office and living room area. I turned my living room into my office, as I use my computer for entertainment too. Getting a projector makes it so the bedroom doubles as a tv lounge.
great communal spaces. her apartment is well designed & thoughtful. easily a favorite. wish we had these in L.A and weren’t overly priced.
would like to say hi to the dog 🥺
probably, more dogs also greet one another in those communal spaces
I was thinking "Nice apartment" and then, "Oh! Greyhound!"
I saw a couch for the greyhound but it wasn't clear where the humans sit.
Would BUY this appartment immidiately if it was in my town. Perfect project. COMPLIMENTS
Love that in the work space the background is just a wall. It can be "dressed" (or not) for appropriate video calls. No windows in there makes it a perfect work-at-home spot!
I have seldom seen an apartments complex like this. The communal areas are beautiful. The project shows that these Architects really think out of the box and see Architecture as it should be and not as something that only produces objects of beauty. They took hold of social and psychological aspects to create this project and the result is gorgeous.
Holistic vision.
Marvellous!
I like the pops of green throughout, on the sliding door and the bathroom tiles!
I love this apartment so modern, so much light and the interior design is magnificent!
Thank you for always showing a floor plan. Helpful for us with limited understanding of space.
You are so right about the sliding doors…it makes a big difference and your dog and budgie are gorgeous 🌕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The apartment and her voice feel so calming….
Probably the most beautiful interior and exterior aesthetic I ever saw on this channel. I just don’t believe in community space, not everyone is respectful with the stuff …except if you live in japan.
This is a perfect apartment. I watched many. But this suit me. I love this
I appreciate the architect ID'ing the land the building is built on correctly.
It is very interesting how the sliding door is of great importance because it opens the room to the living room and the balcony but at the same time the sliding door allows the study to be separated from the other spaces of the house that is very interesting.
This apartment is so beautiful and practical! I love the amount of natural light entering the apartment! Everything in it is so practical. I also love the sliding doors.
In love with how Japanese division was used. I love d contrast of colours, space saving clean ups.💗🇹🇭
I love the thoughts towards communal living and the openness and light available - I especially love the plants and green palette. I think my only problem would be storage (though admittedly I guess that could be a me problem of having too much stuff). Especially the lack of shelf space for a bookworm like me.
This project is far the best one I have seen on this channel. Some of those ideas could be aplied for an smaller appartment as well. Congrats
I like the design of this appartment a lot, could imagine living there. What especially appeals to me are the sliding doors. Nothing like being able to close off the bedroom when guests drop by. Maybe another closet would be nice to have on the rear wall of the studio
when she explainings her apartment so calm and soft ❤️🤗
I find this way of organizing an apartment interesting since with little furniture a comfortable space is achieved with very good lighting and ventilation. You can see how strategically things can be located and organized so that they work in a good way, and I like the open and free area that is created since very few walls are used, giving it a lighter appearance creating good visuals from the inside.
This one wins. By far the best apartment. I love everything though, as a personal preference, I'd like a window in the study room.
Bike workshop is brilliant!
Honestly has to be one of my favourite ones so far wth, its really nice :)
🥰
Nice. I think some storage in the study is needed - nobody is completely paperless. It will be interesting to see how the shared spaces work out. I like the idea in theory, but people...
Stunning. It has a very comfortable vibe. It’s not much smaller than the 2 bedroom granny flat my family of 4 lives in. I truly enjoy living in a smaller space.
The building is perfect for inner city.
Bikes and electric powered modes of transport are essential to the commute of the modern age so this communal work area is fantastic.
This is one of the few apartments in here which seem "normal". Not too many special modifications done to the living space. Love everything with this place. Seems like a modern apartment here in Sweden.
WOW !
Perfect in every way.
My ( personal) only problem would be the microwave in a cupboard , and the oven being under a bench. But as I said that's just a personal preference, as not only do I have trouble bending, but I am short, and cannot reach high things .
I love the location and the north aspect. Perfect for Melbourne weather all year round. And Clifton Hill is so close to public transport, and other services too.
Indeed!
I am obsessed with all the storage and green accents! And the emphasis on communal spaces is wonderful too. 😊
Ugh such a lush unit and apartment well done
I love that the shared amenities are not the only option you have! Too often developers try to sell something as a ‘community’ while they are actually cheaping out on dishwashers/kitchens/outdoor space..
Bruh, since when is a 55 squaremetre apartment small? And in a building like this? Bruh, I wish I was that rich. :/
Stop saying bruh and your dreams will come true 😉
@@infavorofdemocracy5770 Bruh, never! :D
Well compared to other apartments in Australia, it is on the smaller side..
@@itskindofemily How much would you pay for a normal sized appartment there?
considered small in certain countries. totally normal or even high end in other countries. In my eastern European country I worked years to earn enough so I could rent a 50 m2 flat on my own. spent most of my adulthood in flats between 25-40 m2
If I had a place like this I’d have everything in it but maybe switch the living room area for a home gym. One of the most practical and beautiful home designs I’ve seen!
Her voice is so soothing! And I love her space.
