50square meters is a decent size for a single person if in that case you also furniture and build it very smart even more. As a student i lived with 16m2 and was quite happy (Shared apartment of course so big kitchen etc.)
This is one of the best small space interior designs I’ve ever seen. So impressed at how the storage is incorporated seamlessly into the entire (not to mention beautiful) space without that forced, crammed feeling. Especially love the use of dividers as storage! I wonder if next to the oven may not be the best spot for wine storage, though.
What a transformation. This is stunning. The color palette is marvelous and the individual spaces are both functional and cozy. So much storage. Bravo!
As someone who has lived in 3 different neighborhoods in Paris, it's safe to say that this one doesn't even qualify as a small apartment for Paris non-rich standards...! Good job! The apartment is very well thought out and nicely finished!
That bothers me a bit...they're constantly calling things small and they seem to design for/show folk that have zero hobbies or pets and children, it's just a sortof place to hangout after work with some colleagues. Maybe I'm taking this too personal, but I make art for a hobby and I have a 35m2 place with no extra storage. I have a 2 by 2 m2 kitchen with a low sideways wall (one third of the kitchen is gone because of this) and honestly, around me live people in their 40's and 50's that can't afford a bigger house, can't afford to start a family or get themselves a pet, because it's just too damn small. And then they call 50 square meters a 'small' appartment for seemingly one person.
@@Widdekuu91 for me 50sqm seems like a cosy but not crammed size easily for 2 people - its a lifestyle i do want but also i am just trying to live within my means
I absolutely adore this part of Paris, and would love to be able to afford a “small” apartment like this on a middle class wage lol. It’s not as bad as London but i really miss the days Paris was affordable, or close to it anyway.
Very kind of him to speak English for the video but I wouldn't have hated reading subtitles while he spoke French. He's a great architect too, it's a lovely space!
@@RickieBeubie HA! I used to think that too, but I looked into it and it turns out that France and the French are very insular in the media they consume. So they tend to read books in french and watch tv/films in french as well. This is in contrast to Scandinavians and other Europeans who consume a lot of media in english.
@@Insanetoaster yes all our movies on TV are dubbed and in terms of literature we have so much great stuff we don't need to look outside much, and foreign literature is always translated anyway. Another issue is that many words are spelled identically or almost identically so when we see/read them the french pronunciation will take over 😂
@@anaalves3658 yeah it's impossible to get over it i think, only a proper work with a pronunciation coach could really do but besides having learned since young age we would never overcome this accent 😂😂
The shower is a dream - I've always wanted a walk-in with no tub, no curtain, no doors. Big kudos. However, the stairs are a bit intimidating with no handrail. I'm afraid I'd fall the first time I came down those in the dark. Beautiful job!
I have used one in a hotel, there was water all over the bathroom floor, great concept, not practical unless you want a polished bathroom floor because you will have to mop and change the bathroom mat after each shower.
There has to be a decline so water flows down the drain. But it also depends on your shower habits - I mostly use the 🚿 so water doesn't spray everywhere + less cleaning. The staircase has the wood slats - that not only look great, but also hinder you from falling over. A handrail still might be nice but not as important.
I love that the kitchen is separate. The kitchen is the hardest room to keep looking really clean and uncluttered and it is nice not to constantly see that mess. The lighting in this space allows for the kitchen not to feel closed off.
Building off what you said, I liked how they managed to have separate, distinct spaces as that gives the inhabitant the ability to move throughout the home without feeling like they’re stuck in a singular box all day.
I'm old school, from the days when kitchens were a separate entity even in the most humble home. I never understood the trend toward open kitchens where a chef's mess is the backdrop for dinner . This proves that a well-designed home does not require an open kitchen to appear spacious. Simply a gorgeous apartment overall!
@Lucy Gray you should be cleaning as you go with very little to put away by the time a meal is ready. Plus, it sucks to be a host and to be stuck away from everyone else. What's the point of having people over if youre not spending time with them?
Yes I agree with this! I was recently living in a small flat with the kitchen In the dining room area and i felt I couldn’t relax and enjoy my meal looking at my dirty pots and pans!
It looks like a sculpture - the whole house is a work of art. Seriously, with the colour palette, built in shapes of arches, angles, materials- man you are superb. 😍🙏🏻
The French are really genius designers. Really well thought out details like the floating stairs and the openings in the hallway, the mirorred backsplash, the window openings in bedroom for more daylight.. it's just so well done.
I agree, most small spaces presented here have cooler atmospheres, they only seem practical. This apartment is practical, clean cut and very cosy. I can really imagine the person who lives there really loving it, especially because it is cosy.
Seeing the size and utility of the kitchen, bathroom and dressing/storage/laundry room really impressed me. Plus many of the finishes look expensive. Really nice work by this firm.
This is honestly the best home I have seen. It's essentially perfect and you could comfortably spend a lot of time there. I've fallen in love with this channel but have always been thinking about how being in such a small space effects people while they're in quarantine, but its hits everything on the nail that it seems there are no compromises and you probably wouldn't feel horrible holed up in there.
@@Sisterlisk That's a rather silly thing to say. The size of the space you live in does not affect you mentally. It is your thinking that affects you and how you percieve the environment you live in. Plenty of wealthy people in mansions whinged about being in quarantine. Not everybody needs a large multi roomed house to live in to be content and have peace of mind.
I LOVE this space. Interesting that she has 2 eating spaces. As a single woman the kitchen space would work for me so I can have more seating for guests in the Living area. I also would want a bathtub. Both of these would just be personal preferences. But I love this. One of the best small spaces I've seen so far.
I thought the same thing. Maybe make the kitchen eating space into more counter space and maybe a center island, move the table to the bench area (7:36) and put another comfy chair where the table is now.
Lmao at the comments saying this flat isn’t small, didn’t realise it was a competition on how small a flat can be. This channel is to share design ideas for small spaces and there were multiple genius uses of space here. Wish they also shared the cost of renovation as a lot of the work looked like it was done by master craftsmen. One of the best flats I’ve seen yet and I look at a lot of them.
@@Poppy- Custom cabinets can cost more than 1000€ per meter, especially in crazy tight spaces. The tiling is amazing in the bathroom, don’t know if you noticed how they line up with holes etc perfectly, that is a lot of working out and I would guess would charge a lot per hour, maybe 100€ or more. This was an expensive build. Please architect, if you are reading, let us know a price bracket of costs if you can’t divulge exact amount.
@@MrRobertBatchelor I know, made to measure is crazy expensive and most trades charge around 100$/h here. Sometimes one can save by buying reclaimed/recycled materials. Yes, please architects, people would like to know what to expect.
I think most are disappointed that it features very few practical ideas for people that are really living in small space because 500ft+ for a single person is luxurious. Most people living in cramped cities have in average just less than 150ft per person, less than a third of what is featured here. The tiling and additional openings to increase light penetration is very nice though.
@J M "How is that for an idea to leave us alone?" Why? Should we treat those people like babies that should be always praised for any drawing you can make? Tiu, tiu, tiu, what a smart architect you are, designing so cleverly this small, small space, a bit bigger than my two room and separate kitchen apartment with a bathtub and much more of storage space? Wow, you put a presentation shelf for decorative objects in an archway, where noone can see them? And TV in 90 degree position to a coach? Perfect, I wouldn't think about it. And I especially like those curved, smooth stairs without railings, amazing.
When I brought my flat by time it got to moving in I had forgotten how small it was. I started to panic that I would dit all my furniture in Now everything is in it just seems normal
This is gorgeous, functional, warm, inviting, generous, clever, homely...it really just feels complete and without compromise. Absolutely loved seeing this.
So stunning. I love parts of the original beams being showcased, the color palette of the home, and the different shaped doorways (curved on the bottom floor and then triangular shaped up in the mezzanine)
To me, this is the best one from this channel so far. The style is interesting and stands out from other projects. It's very personal, it has character, but at the same time, it's completely unintrusive, universal, and timeless. Not to mention the practicality - there's everything one could need in an apartment. Marvelous work.
Charming and brilliant !!! Imagine ! To make a tiny house within an apartment building! To keep charm, practicality and quality together! I love historical buildings so a brick wall with a practical kitchen oh yes. You have inspired other builders to follow your example. 1000 thumbs up!!
The stuy area feels like one of those tiny nightmare cubicles. It's right at the entrance, has barely any light and there isn't enough space to properly work. I personally would've prefered to turn this area into a proper coats and shoes area and instead have a little foldable table at the sofa or just work at the dining/kitchen area. The rest of the apartment is stunning though. I really love the mix of scandi and 70s with elements of the old structure. The natural light comming from the sky light into the bedroom and into the living room is a cool touch!
I personally would have moved the washer down, maybe even have room for a guest toilet, if under the stairs provides enough space and have a proper second room/office upstairs.
I'm amazed that they even had enough space for a dressing room and a washing machine. I have a 49sqm apartment in Perth, and not even I have a washing machine. It's great to be able to see an apartment in France on an Australian design channel. Thanks for showcasing excellent work from around the world, NTS!
I don't get why Western cities often cheat apartments off laundry machines. I've lived in a 20 square meter apartment in Japan, and it has a place for a washing machine.
:) I live in a 47sqm apartment, which is a pretty standard size for a 1 bedroom apartment in my country. Im surprised you cant fit in a washing machine ... ?
I've been following this channel for awhile now, and every now and again I revisit this video because it's the best design I've seen so far. I mean, that kitchen? WOW. There have been a lot of apartments featured here that are around 530 square feet, but none of them have used the space so beautifully as this one does. From everything to the curved golden doorway into the kitchen to the partially floating staircase to the amazing bathroom, this is a really gorgeous home. Everything about it is a win for me, and if I were a single woman in her thirties, I could definitely live there.
Fully functional kitchen, a study, bedroom with natural light, bathroom with perfect lighting,seperate dressing/ laundry room. In Paris! That's like a dream come true!
I always love to see these small apartments. I used to live on 20 square meters when I was 20. Shower and toilet I had to share. I had it all together in my small room. Now I have a bigger house, 160 square meters. And that comes with all kinds of responsibilities etc. And also, a lot more stuff to organise and clean up ;-)
Just exquisite. So much "space" in such a small space. For me, I would add a little storage to support the lower part of the staircase - I was a little nervous how it bounced when he walked down them.
I think this has to be the BEST apartment transformation I've ever seen in life and in all Never Too Small uploads! Not only it's all functional, it has generous sized kitchen, imagine having a study with that background too! No need to use virtual background with such view behind your study desk! Interiors and colors used are on point, it creates this warm-welcoming apartment yet it's cozy, homey and so stunning to every square inch you look! I really love the fact that they made the wooden structure be a part of the aesthetic of the apartment! LOVE this a lot ❤️
Oh I just love this!!! The use of color, wooden slats, arches, tiny display shelves, and so many other features are stylish and wonderful. A very, very lucky client. I am inspired to use several of these ideas
I love the functionality combined with warmth, logic, and livability. The storage created makes it clean-looking and the kitchen is a dream. My standard always is, do I want to live there? This is one of the few times I will wholeheartedly answer yes.
Exactly. Or "would I be -willing to / capable of- living there" Too often it's way too impractical, the washing machine makes sounds in the living room, there's not enough storage, shelves are too open/bare (making it hard to keep a small space tidy-looking cause irl they must be stacked to their max :D ), kitchens are sensless, too much glass everywhere (which will require nonstop maintanance), illogical lighting for nighttime or overcomplicated solutions that require complex daily tasks (like making and storing your bed, or weird access to daily items, including clothes...)
those green tiles in the bathroom omg!!! the most beautiful tiles I have seen...lovely appartment, great kitchen with that cool brick wall and many practical corners!
So well done - félicitations à l’architecte! This is one project where I’d love to see the floorplans/design evolution - what was disregarded design- and materials-wise, what colours were suggested, etc. It’s lovely.
I love it! Finally a house with some color on the walls, it has such a warm atmosphere. I't's just the right size, there's no waste of space but nothing seems too cramped or a compromise. I really like the match of the pink furniture and green tiles in the bathroom, and the sofa. And the dressing room is really smart, having the washing machine and dryer right next to the clothes. Love it love it love it
One of the very few apartments that I would actually love to live in. They were able to plan the storage very well and, as someone who lives in a 30 sqm apartment, that is very rare!
love the stairs and the splashes of colour on the walls. this might be one of my favorite apartments on the channel. i hope mr. nicolas bossard can come back for another video
This is absolutely stunning. I usually half watch these while I'm working, but everything came to a grinding halt. Those floating stairs, the little kitchen, the tiny study with the window, the bathroom, I could go on and on. Phenomenal design, but still warm and livable. Perfection.
A different person may find the office space claustrophobic, but I love the lan cafe-esque coziness. I'm inspired to make my next battlestation also as tucked in as possible after this video.
I could see a couple live here too. 😍 Definitely my favorite space. It's everything I have always dreaming of, throw in some more books and a bathtub and I would never move 📚🛁☀️
Superb layout, colours and - here I go again - finishing. Looks like they really paid attention to the details here. I'd probably have preferred no dressing room and instead a full-height ceiling in the living room just to get that sense of freedom (so that you can look down into the living room from the bedroom) but that's a personal preference - I understand other people wanting to maximize floor space. Loved this.
This might be the apartment of the year. Love the colours, but it’s the use of the space that sets this apart. Everything has its own space and like the name of the channel nothing is “never too small”. Well done
This one is a keeper. Love almost everything about it and I absolutely adore that staircase. The fish scale inspired bathroom tiles also nice touch. Although the workspace not quite conducive, a bit cramped and looks claustrophobic. Otherwise, this is very well thought out deco I've seen in NTS for a while. Kudos to the designer 🙌🏼
Obi Dean>> As a number of people have commented about the cramped workspace I thought I'd toss in that my wife has been working from home since our lockdowns began in Feb. 2020. First, she carved out an area in our guest room/my sewing-beading area. In other words, "The Office". Over time, working from home revealed that everything could be conducted on a smartphone and a laptop with headphones for Zoom meetings. Eventually, she moved out to a wee corner tucked in next to our fireplace in the den area and except when one of cats insists on sitting on the keyboards, that's all the space she requires and she prefers "the commute"--i.e. it's closer to the coffee fixing place. Our homeowner here has the pass through for coffee and other things. Et voila!
The style is gorgeous. Im not keen on the wall colour but can appreciate its not to my taste.The corner wall cupboard is genius .Not easily accepted is the staircase with no railing to hold as one uses the staircase. I like the study area and the window is a nice detail .the chair is rather tight in under the stairs though. I do like the storage directly part of the staircase .The kitchen is fantastic area. I like the small hob hood,(never seen one like that ) the white hob is something I hope to have in my own apartment .I like that there are no handles to mess with ones eyes in the kitchen . Overall.......I love this apartment !
Lovely video! Love that apartment - very practical. Regarding the Kamikoto knives - did some research and it appears they are not Japanese. They are made in China and they do not state what steel they use to make the knives. Just a word of warning to anyone considering purchasing - please do your research!
The bathroom tiles are gorgeous! Warm colors are not really my cup of tea, but it works here. Only thing I would change is to bring the lights over the table down a bit more, to create a more cozy atmosphere.
Bro this is by far my favorite NeverTooSmall episode. This design is beautiful and the result is mesmerizing! I am so jealous of the French woman who owns this. You literally fit a whole house in that space. And with so much lighting. How cool! 🤩👏🏽👏🏽
What a beautiful and functional tiny space. It looks and feels so much larger than it is. You have done a wonderful job of meeting the clients needs and wishes.
I've watched a few NTS videos (okay okay, I've watched them all 🙈) and this is by far my absolute favourite! The entire apartment is absolutely exquisite, and the colours and mood throughout are like a warm hug after a long day. There were so many beautiful details that didn't even get mentioned, like the custom door coming out of the bedroom and the built-in seating in the kitchen. Great work to the architect & designers! And of course, another great video made by the NTS team.
Wow, I really love this design, what a brilliant use of the space. The stairs are fantastic, and I think the way that the part-second floor as been added is genius, in that the downstairs still feels spacious. The colours wouldn’t normally be ones I would choose but they are perfect. This is such a calm, restful, comfortable yet stylish home, I love it! 🥰
Loved it! I see this style of perisian appartments more often (especially on Instagram by other french architects & interior designers), I am a bit confused by the lighting above the table in the living space, everything else is perfect!
It's cool how an architect only cares about the structural support of the building they start with. Doesn't matter how it looks, because they can transform that part to anything.
I actually really like what they've done here. Nothing is left out, including space for washing machine / dryer. I particularly love the arches and the storage within those. Bravo!
As a woman in her 30s who lives alone, I can confirm this apartment is perfect for a 30 year old woman who lives alone. Dream apartment
If you need some company.. getting married or whatever... you let me know.
50square meters is a decent size for a single person if in that case you also furniture and build it very smart even more. As a student i lived with 16m2 and was quite happy (Shared apartment of course so big kitchen etc.)
Same for a woman in her 40s who live alone
May i ask how a woman in that age can live alone..
@@mikkel3912 by choosing to remain alone, like me.

The rest of the apartment is stunning though. I really love the mix of scandi and 70s with elements of the old structure. The natural light comming from the sky light into the bedroom and into the living room is a cool touch!
I thought this as well. I would have preferred more storage and had a convertible space instead in another area.
I personally would have moved the washer down, maybe even have room for a guest toilet, if under the stairs provides enough space and have a proper second room/office upstairs.
i ABSOLUTELY love the colours and little touches in this place. wow. so in love rn
The Architect has done an amazing job, lighting it up, making it bigger and ticking all the boxes on his client's list. Well done.
This is my favorite apartment so far. Fantastic.
one of my favorite apartments in the never too small series.
Lively and gorgeous. It looks like it smells of clementine oranges.

This is by far the best apartment I could ask for!
I'm amazed that they even had enough space for a dressing room and a washing machine. I have a 49sqm apartment in Perth, and not even I have a washing machine. It's great to be able to see an apartment in France on an Australian design channel. Thanks for showcasing excellent work from around the world, NTS!
Wow. Where in Perth are you? Like in the CBD?
washing machine AND a dryer next to it ! C'est incroyable !
@@randommusings48 near Subiaco station :) I have a little one bedroom for $1300 a month.
I don't get why Western cities often cheat apartments off laundry machines. I've lived in a 20 square meter apartment in Japan, and it has a place for a washing machine.
:) I live in a 47sqm apartment, which is a pretty standard size for a 1 bedroom apartment in my country. Im surprised you cant fit in a washing machine ... ?
Wow the architect did such an amazing job
Le travail de l’architecte est incroyable. Cette impression d’espace alors que c’est tout petit c’est dingue.
I've been following this channel for awhile now, and every now and again I revisit this video because it's the best design I've seen so far. I mean, that kitchen? WOW. There have been a lot of apartments featured here that are around 530 square feet, but none of them have used the space so beautifully as this one does. From everything to the curved golden doorway into the kitchen to the partially floating staircase to the amazing bathroom, this is a really gorgeous home. Everything about it is a win for me, and if I were a single woman in her thirties, I could definitely live there.
Lovely house! The architect really tries to fulfill the client’s needs and wishes. Well done!

This is great style design and colour... perfectly delivered for a young person... living alone...adequate space...well done to the architect.
Fully functional kitchen, a study, bedroom with natural light, bathroom with perfect lighting,seperate dressing/ laundry room. In Paris! That's like a dream come true!
The shower is beautiful, a truly relaxing combination of colors and textures.
WOW.. looks so bigger than it actually is. The kitchen is gorgeous. Really nice home for Paris. Great job

I always love to see these small apartments. I used to live on 20 square meters when I was 20. Shower and toilet I had to share. I had it all together in my small room. Now I have a bigger house, 160 square meters. And that comes with all kinds of responsibilities etc. And also, a lot more stuff to organise and clean up ;-)
Just exquisite. So much "space" in such a small space. For me, I would add a little storage to support the lower part of the staircase - I was a little nervous how it bounced when he walked down them.
the sink situation in the bathroom is the most beautiful composition of shapes and light that I've ever came across. Bravo!
I think this has to be the BEST apartment transformation I've ever seen in life and in all Never Too Small uploads! Not only it's all functional, it has generous sized kitchen, imagine having a study with that background too! No need to use virtual background with such view behind your study desk! Interiors and colors used are on point, it creates this warm-welcoming apartment yet it's cozy, homey and so stunning to every square inch you look! I really love the fact that they made the wooden structure be a part of the aesthetic of the apartment! LOVE this a lot ❤️
What an intelligent use of space! Very stylish with loads of natural light. Impressive!
Beautiful. Especially with the colors.
And I'm a sucker for archways 😃

This is one of the most brilliant and creative small space designs I've ever seen
One of my favorites in a while. It's nice to see one that doesn't need to be completely white to feel spacious.
Oh I just love this!!! The use of color, wooden slats, arches, tiny display shelves, and so many other features are stylish and wonderful. A very, very lucky client. I am inspired to use several of these ideas
I love the functionality combined with warmth, logic, and livability. The storage created makes it clean-looking and the kitchen is a dream. My standard always is, do I want to live there? This is one of the few times I will wholeheartedly answer yes.
Exactly. Or "would I be -willing to / capable of- living there" Too often it's way too impractical, the washing machine makes sounds in the living room, there's not enough storage, shelves are too open/bare (making it hard to keep a small space tidy-looking cause irl they must be stacked to their max :D ), kitchens are sensless, too much glass everywhere (which will require nonstop maintanance), illogical lighting for nighttime or overcomplicated solutions that require complex daily tasks (like making and storing your bed, or weird access to daily items, including clothes...)
those green tiles in the bathroom omg!!! the most beautiful tiles I have seen...lovely appartment, great kitchen with that cool brick wall and many practical corners!
So well done - félicitations à l’architecte! This is one project where I’d love to see the floorplans/design evolution - what was disregarded design- and materials-wise, what colours were suggested, etc. It’s lovely.
I love the french accent. Its perfect
I love it! Finally a house with some color on the walls, it has such a warm atmosphere. I't's just the right size, there's no waste of space but nothing seems too cramped or a compromise.
I really like the match of the pink furniture and green tiles in the bathroom, and the sofa. And the dressing room is really smart, having the washing machine and dryer right next to the clothes.
Love it love it love it
This is the most stunning small space I've ever seen.
One of the very few apartments that I would actually love to live in. They were able to plan the storage very well and, as someone who lives in a 30 sqm apartment, that is very rare!
One of most realistic design for small space on the channel. Good interior design
love the stairs and the splashes of colour on the walls. this might be one of my favorite apartments on the channel. i hope mr. nicolas bossard can come back for another video
This is absolutely stunning. I usually half watch these while I'm working, but everything came to a grinding halt. Those floating stairs, the little kitchen, the tiny study with the window, the bathroom, I could go on and on. Phenomenal design, but still warm and livable. Perfection.
A different person may find the office space claustrophobic, but I love the lan cafe-esque coziness. I'm inspired to make my next battlestation also as tucked in as possible after this video.
th-cam.com/video/YPmR-qusfzE/w-d-xo.html
I could see a couple live here too. 😍 Definitely my favorite space. It's everything I have always dreaming of, throw in some more books and a bathtub and I would never move 📚🛁☀️
Superb layout, colours and - here I go again - finishing. Looks like they really paid attention to the details here. I'd probably have preferred no dressing room and instead a full-height ceiling in the living room just to get that sense of freedom (so that you can look down into the living room from the bedroom) but that's a personal preference - I understand other people wanting to maximize floor space. Loved this.
The end product is brilliant. Really nice job. The architect has beautiful eyes too 😍.
They packed a lot into such a small space. With lots of light and perfect colour tones, it's perfect 👏🏾💙

I love that bathroom design, mostly the shower layout and tile choice.
As much as the staircase is lovely. I wouldn't mind adding in a shelf for shoes perhaps and extra support since it is only made of Birch Wood
The architect is simply gorgeous... I sense he has a beautiful and calm spirit...
This might be the apartment of the year. Love the colours, but it’s the use of the space that sets this apart. Everything has its own space and like the name of the channel nothing is “never too small”. Well done
The use of storage integration without creating a feeling of overwhelm. And the use of dividers as storage spaces. 😉😉
This one is a keeper. Love almost everything about it and I absolutely adore that staircase. The fish scale inspired bathroom tiles also nice touch. Although the workspace not quite conducive, a bit cramped and looks claustrophobic.
Otherwise, this is very well thought out deco I've seen in NTS for a while. Kudos to the designer 🙌🏼
Obi Dean>> As a number of people have commented about the cramped workspace I thought I'd toss in that my wife has been working from home since our lockdowns began in Feb. 2020. First, she carved out an area in our guest room/my sewing-beading area. In other words, "The Office". Over time, working from home revealed that everything could be conducted on a smartphone and a laptop with headphones for Zoom meetings. Eventually, she moved out to a wee corner tucked in next to our fireplace in the den area and except when one of cats insists on sitting on the keyboards, that's all the space she requires and she prefers "the commute"--i.e. it's closer to the coffee fixing place. Our homeowner here has the pass through for coffee and other things. Et voila!
I have never been happier with an apartment in my life! Rock on!
The style is gorgeous. Im not keen on the wall colour but can appreciate its not to my taste.The corner wall cupboard is genius .Not easily accepted is the staircase with no railing to hold as one uses the staircase. I like the study area and the window is a nice detail .the chair is rather tight in under the stairs though. I do like the storage directly part of the staircase .The kitchen is fantastic area. I like the small hob hood,(never seen one like that ) the white hob is something I hope to have in my own apartment .I like that there are no handles to mess with ones eyes in the kitchen .
Overall.......I love this apartment !
Thumbs up for the architect! This is like one of the best examples if have seen on this channel so far.
I love the colours! The whole appartment feels absolutely cozy and comfortable. I think this is one of my favourites of Never too small so far 😍
I love the colors the most, especially the archway painted in yellow! It's also used as bookshelf too, which is perfect to fill in the space 🥺
Lovely video! Love that apartment - very practical.
Regarding the Kamikoto knives - did some research and it appears they are not Japanese. They are made in China and they do not state what steel they use to make the knives. Just a word of warning to anyone considering purchasing - please do your research!
Sheer perfection. It's wonderful when you see an owner and an architect work together so seamlessly. This apartment has everything. ❤️
Absolutely love this home! Great work by the architect.
Nice. I love that there's a lot of sunlight and natural light...
This is quite lovely. You made a home that she might never want to leave even if 1 becomes +1. I'd like to live in a space like that some day. 😍
th-cam.com/video/YPmR-qusfzE/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful......dreamy and practical.........love the detail releasing the illusion of smallness..........
The bathroom tiles are gorgeous! Warm colors are not really my cup of tea, but it works here. Only thing I would change is to bring the lights over the table down a bit more, to create a more cozy atmosphere.
This is outstanding - I've never seen such amazing use of a small space. Seems so much larger than 538 SF.
Bro this is by far my favorite NeverTooSmall episode. This design is beautiful and the result is mesmerizing! I am so jealous of the French woman who owns this. You literally fit a whole house in that space. And with so much lighting. How cool! 🤩👏🏽👏🏽
It is a wonderful design that really makes the apt. look spacious and light when it never was.
utterly obsessed with this gorgeous apartment, so cosy and welcoming, definitely taking notes of inspiration
This is probably my favorite so far. It is so beautiful. An exceptional job. It is warm and so beautifully designed. ❤
I love that the archway''s insides are paintted that darker metallic color; really cool detail. The details are soo everything here!
What a beautiful and functional tiny space. It looks and feels so much larger than it is. You have done a wonderful job of meeting the clients needs and wishes.
I've watched a few NTS videos (okay okay, I've watched them all 🙈) and this is by far my absolute favourite! The entire apartment is absolutely exquisite, and the colours and mood throughout are like a warm hug after a long day. There were so many beautiful details that didn't even get mentioned, like the custom door coming out of the bedroom and the built-in seating in the kitchen. Great work to the architect & designers! And of course, another great video made by the NTS team.
What a dream, this is by far the one that I love the most from watching every single video since this channel began!! I'm super impressed.
Wow, I really love this design, what a brilliant use of the space. The stairs are fantastic, and I think the way that the part-second floor as been added is genius, in that the downstairs still feels spacious. The colours wouldn’t normally be ones I would choose but they are perfect. This is such a calm, restful, comfortable yet stylish home, I love it! 🥰
I have said this before, Paris is a just magical place! I prefer this video was made in French.
Loved it! I see this style of perisian appartments more often (especially on Instagram by other french architects & interior designers), I am a bit confused by the lighting above the table in the living space, everything else is perfect!
I was thinking the same, but looking better I think the table is extended that's why the double lightings and the bench near the windows.
It's cool how an architect only cares about the structural support of the building they start with. Doesn't matter how it looks, because they can transform that part to anything.
I actually really like what they've done here. Nothing is left out, including space for washing machine / dryer. I particularly love the arches and the storage within those. Bravo!
Je suis d’accord l’appart est complètement magnifique, j’aimerais la même arche chez moi 😊
Love the bathroom tiles and the use of color not to bold but not too subtle, it just feels light and relaxing
So warm and cozy! I'd like to curl up there on a rainy day with the fireplace going.
