Thanks for all the compliments, I'm in awe of the responses! thanks @NeverTooSmall!
Thank you, Jack, for allowing us to visit your place and thank you for sharing your ideas and design! We are loving it.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised! I thought it was going to be a basic small space but it's so neat!!
Jack Chen what a beautiful project, I'm in love with the convertible office chair to lounge chair! Is that a custom design or something I could potentially buy off the shelf? Top credits with matching your parker sofa lounge too!
This is so meditative and beautiful. Well done. 🌻
great!
this is actually the most practical minimalist small apartment design ive ever seen yet. not too much sliders and pop-up features! Also the integration with natural sense is perfect~
practical???? no
It's never pratical when you need to change all your setup to setup the table or something else, and vice versa.
It maybe look pratical on a video, but once you have to live like that every day changing furniture ect. to be able to "create" the table ect.
I'm sure you can find something bigger for the same price or lower
I would rather not buy that, and do 10 minutes more of bus or driving every day to get someting bigger than live in this little box
But the job is done, make the box a mini-studio ^^
ah i see... i agree about that too. but for someone living alone (and planning to do so for longer time) like me i won't need that dining table that much tho. as for the tv/pc switching i always do/redo my laptop setup for almost 3 years now. that remote-controlled frosted glass, I'll use the conventional one. in my current flat i don't watch TV unless when i gather with frends or want some anime and chill so... it's "practical" for me i guess haha
for 35m2 it's not that good, there's still so much room around things. It's nice, has cool features, but its not the definition of maximum use of space that it seems to claim. 35m2 is small for current standards but a single or a couple can live perfectly fine.
ربي يسعدك يا ياسين😁💝
We need a longer episode of this apartment, including the drawing of the house and the bedroom! Love the privacy glass and the moss wall! Just brilliant!
This video has before shots and a floorplan: th-cam.com/video/ELWMKyWDJJg/w-d-xo.html
@@jdp486 thank you!
Is no one gonna talk about that BEAUTIFUL MOSS WALL!?!?!?
where you could find all kind of bugs?
I agree, that is an amazing feature if it's low-maintenance (moss should be?!)
As per usual when I see something like this all I can think is “Now how are you going to dust that?”
@@WulfricTheBlack wonder if it's actually in use, it's all so tidy and clean. The bike looks like it got just out of a shop
@@Slamdoxicalz some people are clean. Some people aren't.
Very smart usage of space, and nice design of an apartment. But I feel there is more to be shown. Video is too short, I think.
It's an architecture show project.
It shows no evidence that anyone lives there.
Sustainable bandwidth
@@dreamervanroom nonsense I live in NYC that is an extremely livable space .. very nicely done!
Yes I would like more view of the bedroom and closet area etc for future videos thanks! Slightly longer videos would be nice
that office chair, turn into lounge chair, it just blows my mind
I had to rewind the video at that point I was so amazed
I want One!
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
"everything needs to be carefully considered. You've got to know your lifestyle, so what's important for you."
I spell it contrived.
architects are cool creatures
Not when you have do deal with the MAN😂
Devilman: Crybaby man who?
Chill Frost Its a sub company in Germany from Volkswagen. 😁
Architects have cool ideas, Engineers are the cool ones that make it all happen.
Miganto not necessarily true. Engineers are just the consultants to architects. Architects, or licensed architects, don’t even need engineers for smaller projects. I don’t think people realize the science architecture is. It’s a combination of art and science.
Omg there's so many little details that had me shook!!! The holes through the shoe shelf for the umbrella??!!! So thoughtful!!
That umbrella hole is cute - throw it down when you enter the house!
And the wine storage!
It appears that the wooden pegs are removable, so you can place them where you need them. So much built-in flexibility.
I have watched dozens of these videos and this is by far one of my favorite designs. So many clever uses of the available space. Simply stunning.
I've been binge watching NTS videos for a couple of days and so far this is my favorite one. I love that he was able to incorporate having a large TV and work are/desk. I especially love that you can tuck away the extra monitor for the laptop and the entire desk for that matter.
Nothing is ever too small... *IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY!*
Yeah somehow I don’t see the people who need this kind of space the most being able to afford it.
In my experience, the less money I have, the bigger space is left in my apartment. The more money I have, the more I clutter it up with unimportant items.
I think the idea is if you want a small space to be this efficient you're going to have to pay for it and it's not inexpensive.
Yeah, wait till an apartment is just a box and with a click of a button it becomes an entire room of what you need.
Build it yourself, its actually way more easy than you think, when i was 16 and moving into a new house, my dad gave me a £500 budget to do my room and I basically had to make everything myself apart from the bed. I was very happy with the result and i am still proud now.
The design is perfect, the green wall, choices of decor, everything is absolutely perfect. It definitely has a “big house” feel in a cozy space. Bravo
The channel is ''never too small'', not ''never too expensive''. Nobody ever said or claimed they live there because they have to. People, myself included, love small spaces. That's why we don't look at it as a ''saving money'' but it's actual living and if we have money, it's even more economical to make small home a designer home, than a mansion.
The chair looks like it is 1.5K, but where did you find the cost of all the other stuff?
@@pfeliciano5976 I am sure you could make the same chair using a single piece of plywood and a router.
O isler tam olarak oyle degil. Bazi sehirlerde 1 metre karenin fiyati 5bin euroyu buluyor. 35 yerine 85 metrekare bir evin fiyati 250 bin euro daha fazla. Insanlar o kadar para harcayip alan satin almaktansa o paranin 5te birini ev esyasina harcayip kucuk alani daha kullanisli hale getirmeyi tercih ediyorlar.
And also sometimes location is a factor where you can afford more space in another area or do a fantastic job like this apartment in a location that's walking distance to everything you want .. pros and cons but I think everyone can agree this project just perfection!!!
I’ve seen some episodes where people used second hand furniture , stuff found in the street and old ikea elements too
This is the most beautiful design I've ever seen from the channel. The space is well considered. It feels like a home instead of an experiment.
He is so happy!! Look at that smile ❤️ I am so in love with the privacy glass that can be switched on/off and either way, it still allows light to come in and illuminate the house. Pellucide one moment and opaque the next - privacy wasn’t sacrificed to be artsy. Well done!! And I am so jealous your entire office tucks into a wall.
Oh my.. this is my dream small house
I was a bit worried about the toilet being visible from the kitchen, but obviously he thought of that. Love the genius office/tv corner and the little bar area. And the moss wall. Amazing!
This man is a GENIUS! I've been watching plenty of tiny "homes" videos on YT (because I live in a 400sq ft studio in NY) and this one is just so well spread, every single inch it's been used carefully and well distributed...Beautiful and functional!
Everything is where they are supposed to be. Nice arrangement. Tidy.
The moss in bathroom and window that turns opaque on demand is just genius!!
How one clean dead moss?
DaytripDaisy Genius has to be payt for 😳😳🙈🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🙃🙃🙃
This has to be my favorite episode ever since it came out.
This is my favourite design for a apartment. Perfect balance of practical minimalism in my opinion. I re-watch this at least once a month for motivation to keep working and saving to hopefully be able to create something like this for myself one day. Great work Jack Chen.
This has got to be my favorite tiny home ever!!! That kitchen is to die for and the bathroom with the green wall 🥰😍😍. Beautifully done. I also LOVE the separation between the white, airy area and the darker, wooded area.
This is by far one of the best I’ve seen.
So sleek and visually clean .
This is one of the most beautiful apartments I have ever seen. Love the green wall in the bathroom. The whole apartment is a functional work of art!
This is actually my favorite in the 375sqft range! The multifunction, elegance, and lighting shows the thought that went into this design. Bravo! I would love to build a 500-1000 unit low income complex in NYC with 200-375sqft apts just like this. I'll be in touch if I ever locate the funding.;-)
What a sensational tiny apartment. I’m very impressed.
This small space looks spacious. Very smart styling too!
Unbearably beautiful! This architect is a genius and a true artist. 🧡
I've gone through so many of these videos now on this channel. Still. This remains the stand out. Absolutely beautiful.
I'm in love with this appartment! Been in a tiny/small house craze lately, but this has been the most beautiful and practical one I've seen! So freaking stunning!!! I'm actually jealous 😂
Now, THAT is real design! A true talent.
@Jack Chen
Genius design mate. Love the mirrored cabinetry. And the bathroom ... 😎💚
Thank you for sharing
I always come back to this video. By far my favorite by just how everything flows together and how smart the storage is. You don't feel much if any compromise in this design vs a lot of others on this channel.
When he showed the moss wall in the bathroom my jaw dropped. It’s way too beautiful to be real
This has got to be my favorite one in the Never Too Small series
This is the best one so far. Beautiful, intelligent and most importantly, practical.
This is one of my favorites on the channel. Everything fits perfectly and it doesn't seem cramped.
Very nice design. And the level of finishing materials and how everything is made is just fantastic.
Brilliant. Love the living room window.
Of all of these I've watched so far, only this one has an element of love in the design. I'd buy in a breath. 🤗
That green wall in the bathroom is amazing! 😻🪴
Just wow. Well, he is an architect. Much respect
The Best so for, hands down
The table is brilliant. Love the office chair and the green wall, too.
Such a lovely designed appartment!
Thank you for showing it off to us!
In my country we call 35m2 just an apartment.
finally someone who doesnt eat shit,i live in a 26m2(alone but not forever) and i am really happy.You cant put an american(Peter Griffin sized) in a 35m2 thou
not all americans are fat my guy in fact not even all the characters of family guy are petters size
@@franktheballer23 but many are morbidly obese riding on scooters
I was just about to say that. I live in a 26m2 apartment and it's completely fine. I could live here forever and don't any more space.
Agree. 35m² is a normal flat. 9m² is what we call small here.
Can we have a video alone of a tutorial on how to build and maintain that MOSS WALL??
Congratulations! This is probably the best project of the kind I 've ever seen. Really elegant and functional. Amazing again!
I remember this one! One of my faves :) such a subtle clever space
This apartment is beautiful! The colors, the materials, the MOSS! I especially love how its in a nondescript apartment complex. I would never know that this treasure is inside that building.
As a HongKonger, this apartment is SPACIOUS for me
Omg same! I grew up in a smaller flat with my family (imagine the clutter) Also 五大訴求 缺一不可!!
350ft sq, could fit 4-5 people with 2-3 rooms. HK are too rich for their people to live this poor.
@@OneElseV Ha yes! 4 of us slept on a pullout sofa bed in the living room at one point... and both my parents had office jobs!
for a Hong Konger I'd imagine this apartment could serve as a basketball court
China Hongkonger is quite pity tbh
Wow, what a nice place, moss on the wall, cool. He’s such a neat young man. Thanks for giving us good ideas and welcoming us in your home
Wowwww I adore his choice of colours and heavy use of wood. Amazing use of space.
This is the first "tiny" apartment I could actually see myself living in! It looks really nice. :)
That bathroom had me stunned! Such an amazing idea to implement a green wall into that space.
Do you want mold? Because, that's how you get mold
One of the most adored and space efficient appartments
That's beautiful! So many incredible details. I love the black kitchen marble, the up/down chair, the green wall in the bathroom. And how he divided the space, just brilliant! Well done.
A beautiful space created by a beautiful person.
This is so amazing... G
Moss wall in a bathroom oh my Goooood!!!!! I LOVE IT
Such a wonderful fresh idea
Also love the wood and grey and idea of moving and switching the space ...
Everything is beautiful in this apartment!
Definitely one of my favorite designs. Love how the difference in material (wood vs. carpet) divides the living room and walkway leading to the kitchen.
I absolutely love the green wall! Gorgeous use of materials all through this place
Smart, functional, calm - perfect!
Brilliant! This man is a genius! Love the apartment! Simplicity at it best! Love from Bangladesh.
I always find myself coming back to this video! I wish to own such a well-designed apartment!
He never showed the bedroom tho 😕
This is beautifully designed and so peaceful. I loved the physical proximity to the windows and the clever conversions that still looked elegant.
Wow. Jack Chen is a master. This is the best I have ever seen. That bathroom is unreal. How difficult is it to take care of the moss wall?
I appreciate all of the wonderful and creative design elements in Jack Chen's design and implementation. I could picture myself living in a space like this. @NeverTooSmall!
Thank you so much Steve! I am sure Jack will be very pleased to hear that! And thank you so much for supporting our channel! don't forget to subscribe for our latest update ok! Have a great day!
The best house so far in this channel. There is nothing to say about design or floor plan. Just beauty.. Congrats to the architect.
Super love this video! Love also looking at tiny houses that are on the high end, architecturally designed with quality materials and custom made furniture

This is real architecture and excellence in design...Beautifully executed, great ideas and attention to detail...Love the practicality of the desk area, the awesome green bathroom wall and that lovely wire bird on a perch...Just awesome, thank you for sharing such lovely space.
Brilliantly and beautifully designed space! I especially love all the multi-functional components. Very inspiring!
I am so awed by your incredible home. Your talent is astounding and your home space is relaxing and such high levels of function. I love everything.
Probably my favorite video so far and I’ve seen plenty on this channel! What a great appartement! What a great design. The kitchen wall, the umbrella through the 3 shelves, the bathroom, the window between kitchen and bathroom!!! The way desk disappears and tv appears!
The kitchen area is relatively large for a small apartment and i love that you went all out for it instead of sacrificing it for a little bit more space.
Simply beautiful!
My favourite one. I always come back to watch it.
this is the most innovative, functional, and refreshing space I have ever seen! 🤯
really love this channel especially how there is so many smart and talented people out there and how it's only 3-4 minutes long
Best video of the series by far and one of the best design criteria for tiny apartments.
Love the clever design. So beautiful and functional at the same time.❤
This is my favourite on NTS. The folding furniture is brilliant.
Mr Chen, your project looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Loved the moss wall. Natural
and beautiful. Great design.
Absolutely amazing. Fantastic design and bespoke cabinet making.
I grew up in an A-Frame in the 1970s, your place is beautiful. all the wood!
This is SO STUNNING! I'm blown away
Wow, that’s amazing. I’m really impressed with the clever use of concealed furniture. And that bathroom! B.E.A.utiful.
One of my favorites! this is my second time watching it just really appreciate how thoughtful and beautifully done the space is- great video too :)
This is simple one of the finest and thoughtful interior designs I have seen ever!
i definitely agree that this space isnt that "small," but the reason this is considered small is because there is a LOT of space in america and most americans are used to either homes or apartments with multiple rooms. yall gotta relax, this isnt a small apartment contest 😭
It’s Australia but your point still stands. Australia is similar to America with large houses and lots of room
Samantha Arr Yes indeed. This isn't tiny, and it's not really medium sized. Small describes it perfectly.
lsamoa yes and no! Until very recently, Australian cities operated very differently to European or US cities. Our central business districts were rarely also where people lived. Australian cities were almost entirely empty out of business hours as city workers almost without exception lived in the suburbs. Even inner urban living was not really fashionable until around 20 years ago. There’s been flurries of high density inner city living in recent years, changing the face of Australian living styles. But, it is still rare for families with children to live in inner city apartments.
What a beautiful space! He did such a phenomenal job!
I am going to cry at how beautiful this apartment is designed
I have watched a lot of the never too small videos, and this is the best one I have seen so far
wow! brilliant use of space. and so very beautiful.
Simply stunning!!! I adored every detail.
One of the best NTS! Love the design❤️❤️❤️
Just happened to come accross your video. My grandmother used to say that our sanctuary is our home.... It should inspire peace. But it is also a reflection of one's heart. One's inner self. My grandmother was seldom wrong. So... you, my friend, must be a very caring, kind and peaceful human being. You yourself are an inspiration. Many blessings to you.
