Polish Architect's Cosy Scandi Style Apartment - 42sqm/452sqft

- With a focus on natural materials and the colours of nature, this new build apartment in Poznań, Poland designed by architect and owner Alicja Szmal-Baehr, is a warm and inviting space. Clever cabinetry is used throughout to maximise storage while preserving the spacious feel. While a picturesque wooden island housing the kitchen sink, dishwasher and oven serves as a barrier between the living and dining space. A suspended shelf above the island provides lighting and the perfect touch of greenery and when not in use, the hidden fridge, induction hob and storage appear as an uncluttered white wall. In the living room, two chaise lounges have been used instead of a traditional L-shaped sofa to save space and also double perfectly as an additional bed for guests. Smooth microcement flooring that matches the home's palette blends its zones together and enhances the sense of space.

I always watch, but never comment. This is the first design I've seen that I would make zero changes to. It airy, light, beautiful, and functional for the majority, rather than the few ultra minimalists. Well done.
Agree fully. And it feels so comfy as well.
agree but maybe 1 thing; pocket doors for where the cooktop is :)
The only thing I'd change is the colors, paint is cheap!
@@lmjohnsono I will personally change the flooring it looks a bit industrial for a home but everything is nice especially the toilet.
@@willem4d Haha - was thinking same, pocket doors that open and slide into the wall perpendicular to cooktop. Cooktop view being more accessible that way gives a homier feeling. Wholly appreciate all else - some good design here.
ITs nice that the storage helps in making it feel larger and not cluttered. Those closet doors make a world of difference here.
Loving this episode ..
Everything in this space
is well thought out.
Especially
the kitchen &
bathroom..
Probably one of my favorite episodes to date. The space is well designed and functional.
I'm absolutely enamored with that kitchen. The finish of the wood and the texture of the vertical slats is just *chef's kiss*
same here, it’s my favorite feature in the place. I love the warm wood tone, the vertical slats, how it hides the oven + storage and that it matches the bathroom vanity. ❤
Agree, the island made out of wood and done as a piece of art really gives warmth and character to the otherwise white pallet. I’m in love with it!
One of the best I've seen on this channel. The use of space and storage is very good. It looks like a 600 sq ft home.
I did not realize that the apartment was on ground floor until she opened the patio
Me too lmao
It’s not on ground, it’s second floor under the commercial attic
@@goodsoup6162 No, it's a ground floor
Yes, that's both a positive and negative for me.
I love the easy inside/outside access but not sure about the lack of privacy.
Great for people watching though 😊and making new friends.
@@goodsoup6162 Look at 1:19 -- you can see the exterior of the apartment quite clearly - at ground level.
For 42sqm, this apartment is so spacious and incredibly dreamy😍😍
This should be the standard of every apartment.
Simply beautiful.
This is probably one of the most well-planned and minimalistic apartments I have ever seen. So inspirational!
It’s rare that I see a solution in these bespoke apartments I could actually use. But the dual chaise lounges is genius! I love the fact she can push them together and make a guest bed. Well done!
This Polish architect's cozy Scandi-style apartment is a testament to the art of minimalism and functionality. From the clean lines to the neutral color palette, every detail reflects the timeless elegance of Scandinavian design. The clever use of space-saving solutions and multifunctional furniture creates a sense of openness, despite the modest square footage. Natural light floods the space, accentuating the warmth of wooden accents and adding to the inviting atmosphere. It's a perfect blend of simplicity and comfort, showcasing how thoughtful design can transform even the smallest spaces into stylish sanctuaries.
This is my favourite apartment in quite some time. It is absolutely PERFECT!!! Comfortable, beautiful, cosy yet clean lines, and decorated impeccably. Bravo to this talented lady!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
By effectively making the cupboards a continuous wall it enables the apartment to have smooth uncluttered lines whilst not compromising on storage space.
Yes but when you open the kitchen cupboard doors to access the induction stove and have to leave those open when you cook that can probably makes accessing the pantry more difficult
@@VALGEFF1 That's how I felt about this, too. I like the overall effect but it might work better if the doors could slide into the space between the cupboards so they are not in the way.
@@kaalthoff I didn't understand that design decision either. Perhaps this way was worth the slight extra hassle while cooking to this owner and a lot cheaper and easier than making doors that can fold away.
I also couldn't see if the wall to the right of the kitchen (with the black and white framed picture) is a cupboard or not.
And another one from Poland! Yay! Beautiful apartment! There is everything I would need if I lived only with my husband (no children). I would add a little more color, but that's my preference. And that shelf above the kitchen island - I just love it! Congratulations to the Designer!
Had exactly the same thought on color. If it would be on some bigger surface or furniture, that would be a dream flat!
Beautiful country.
Beautiful design.
Cheers from Ukraine.
This is a really well designed, streamlined, tidy space
I love how all storage space blends into the walls and that it feels like there’s no kitchen when just chilling in the living room. Makes it easier to relax after a long day 💯
In other videos some designers hide the kitchen too and normally I'm not a big fan of that, but this time I really like it! I love how light the apartment is and the 2 chaise lounges are super smart, one if my fav tours!
Das Apartment ist sehr schön. Klare Linien und sehr schön eingerichtet.
Peppi 🐕 ist auch sehr süß. 👍
So great to finally see a Polish architect project! Alicja, you've created a wonderful space!
there are few more polish ones - last one was even only few weeks ago I think
Tylko dlaczego taki robotyczny akcent. Wrecz nierealny.
@@7Askay7 Nie ma powodu krytykowac czyjs akcent. Wszystko bylo zrozumiale i tyle.
I'm a student with a specialisation in interior architecture and an active designer from Poznań. I just wanted to say that I feel very proud seeing Polish architects with such sense of creativity and professionalism. Thank you for sharing Ms. Alicja!
great design! there's still a lot of storage despite it being a small space, and even though the interior is very minimal, the wooden island and plants bring a lot of warmth
We need more of these designs everywhere. Clearly this was built with people comfort in mind, not investors to leave empty. It’s not massive, but it doesn’t have to be and the layout is the best I’ve seen comparative to what we have in Canada with random walls everywhere.
I love how she displayed her plants above the kitchen island.Beautiful space
Wow, it is one of the most organised, well designed, and the most flexible apartments on this program! So airy and full of light. Decent size kitchen, very functional storage, beautiful bathroom, I love every single detail of this space!
Sensational. I'm taking the entire kitchen island idea floor to ceiling, plants and all. Bathroom wall tiles are fabulous as well.
Really lovely. The tall kitchen cabinets could benefit from doors that can slide in on the sides - leaving a clear space for working. Love the choice of simple materials and colors as a base. One can always add personality and colour. 💗
It is a lovely place. I was thinking the same, about the open doors being a hindrance while cooking, trying to get something out of the fridge or freezer or using oven or diswasher. A sliding door might have been preferable here, logistics wise.
Lovely showcase of a cozy Scandi-style apartment by a Polish architect. The 42sqm space is utilized brilliantly, blending functionality with a warm, minimalist aesthetic. Perfect for anyone looking for small space inspiration!
One of my fab episodes for sure. She has SUCH an eye for beautiful and functional design!! That bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. The big mirror with the vanity light behind? I'm in love.
Beautiful. Very refreshing. All my heart's-tears to the people of Poland for its embracing, loving heart. What an example to the world you are.
Love from 🐨Land x
Thank you ❤️🇵🇱
This home is a literal dream!!
Wonderful space. Well thought through and while minimal, does not look cheap. Might be my favorite.
Her work at this place is epic! I am so proud that in my country are people like this girl, who created that unique space for her life:)
Love it, especially the kitchen being closed off with doors.
Wow this one of the best ones... definitely...in style design colour... everything in it's place...and just enough furniture...greatly defined spaces ... doesn't look a small home...I could move in now.
I love everything about this apartment, even the plants (which I’m not a fan of per se) work beautifully (above the kitchen island or acting as privacy by the window). The simplicity of material used, same floor design throughout - the wood kitchen island - everything is wonderful, absolutely wonderful.
I really like her idea of putting the two chaise lounges together. I might have to copy that.
She really express how to live simply, the way that all the furniture is invisble, provides a clean look and evoke such a beautiful appreciation of the space, also the configuration of space on the bathroom is perfect, take advantage of all the space and provides a really stetic area.
I love what they’ve done with this apartment.
One of the best appartment, and one done to my heart: it did ot compromise on the sofa!!! Feels like a regular appartment with a lot of storage ans a sense of normalcy.
Contemporary, timeless, eloquent, peaceful, serene. Marvelous use of textures and tones. Gorgeous accessories. Great work!
This is my favorite feature so far - and I've been watching since 2020! My heart was fluttering harder with each new thing she revealed
It is simple, with lots of greens (love it), timeless design, materials, colors. Definitely my style. I can easily see myself living there!
I love the idea the cabinets in the kitchen. It instantly reduces the look of cluttered countertops just close the doors 😊
This is a great wood project book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.
Cozy and lovely. And that Pothos above the kitchen space!
I really like her choices of color and texture, and the idea of her 2 chaise couches filling the space and turning into a guest bed when rearranged. The whole arrangement feels very lived in, and relatable.
Good job 👍🏻
I love the idea of an "invisible" kitchen ; it's a great idea : you don't feel like living in a kitchen 👍🏻
How could anyone throw that armchair away! I am so happy restored and saved it. Beautiful apartment.
Oh I love to see a micro apartment that is not designed for a die-hard minimalists! This is what's always in the back of my head when. watch those episodes: these people don't cook! Kitchen in here looks usable but at the same time thanks to the doors it can be hidden so they can enjoy a relaxed time without watching all the kitchen clatter. Love this one.
Very nice, constructed apartment space! 💯💯
Yes, bravo to you - beautiful, functional design - the kitchen especially, wonderful !
I’m really amused that its one of the design on this cannel, thats pure, minimalistic and cosy. Not built-in furniture like many of designs here. We’ll done, happy thats project created by Polish architect
What a suprise that I can watch home tour from Poland! From my own country! 🎉
Absolutely beautiful, gorges. My applause to designer. Thank you
Happy to see polish apartments here! Polish style is really worth of the eye.
Superb: clever and efficient layout, the sight line through the apartment from entrance to lounge window provides a feeling of space and the furnishings, well designed lighting and battened peninsular in the kitchen add warmth & texture to the white walls and make for a cosy home. 10/10 to the architect.
For me, the ideas in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
This is beautifully designed. Very impressive use of space, materials, and configuration.
I love the concept of living beautiful and simple. This small space is a dream come true. It feels airy, organic and lively and it's got all you need to live comfortably and in style.
Stunning! What an amazing sense of space and atmosphere. Quality and tactile. Definitely a real home with focus.
I just love how much natural light you get in this space!
I loved the dog. The real star. The apartament is nice too.
Very nice. Small enough to make it cosy, just big enough to live comfortably with two people, adaptable enough to invite a bunch of people over. I really like it!
"I love colors of nature" -> Everything is white. xD
I like how minimalistic and functional it is. :) It's a nice change from all those cluttered apartments. I really like the "hidden" bookshelf that is not visible when entering the apartment.
I don't think that placing cooktop in a closet is a good idea (if you cook often).
It is winter -> there is snow in winter -> snow is white -> white = color of nature 🤣
I also think that this kitchen would be really problematic for someone to cook in... there is planty of restaurants around the house, so maybe owners don't cook at all...
@@MaraMara89 :D
Jaw drop! Absolutely beautiful! One of my favorite spaces ever featured. It feels so spacious.
Ah, e superb; cochet, spațios și aerisit, ordonat, calm, ingenios !
I love that the whole kitchen disappears and the beautiful light/plant fixture.
Perhaps my fave of the many videos I've watched on NTS. Not my 'style' yet I could easily envision myself living there. Nothing to dislike, lots to love!
Best small design apartment that fits my taste entirely! Modest, clear, functional, peaceful, natural, dreamy! Home 🥰 Congratulations! Wishing you good luck and all the best!
Beautiful. I love the suspended plant shelf with downlighters.
So very light, modern and cozy at the same time. It highlights just how much excess in our lives that we don’t need. Spectacular…Bravo!! 🎉
Finally! Nice, modern and functional!!!
You have created a very serene and comfortable home. I like the colour palette.
what a beautiful space, and now i know how the kitchen of my dream looks. thank you for sharing!
шмаль-студио? да это же не название, а просто праздник какой-то
Just woke up, time for Never Too Small 😁 this space is beautiful! And great, simple solutions like the two chaiselongues
Bardzo ładne mieszkanie. Cieszy mnie również fakt, że polski design z tzw. PRL- u został w nim wykorzystany i twórcy tych mebli wymienieni z nazwiska.
Hmm, chyba po prostu z PRLu, bez tzw. Albo moze polski design lat 50tych, 60tych itd.
love the plant / light shelf above the kitchen island
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I will draw from this as I care for my space. It really speaks to me!
It's the discrete effortless Jesus Icon in the bedroom for me... Beautifully designed space!
It's incredible, so cozy..one of my absolute favorites on this channel
Absolutely wonderful. So clever and thoughtful. Adore rooms with no skirting board, looks so much cleaner. Big fan of hidden storage. And that island (chef’s kiss). Well done
I think this is my favorite space so far!!!!! Perfection!
Your apartment is simply stunning.
So smart! You can tell a lot of thinking & consideration went into the design.
😍lady, your apartment is gorgeous! and so cleverly designed. Amazing what is possible in such a small space
Alicia you have done well to create a beautiful living space your patio seems large and inviting love it. 🇦🇺 🪷
Very lovely and inspiring. So many storage ideas. Thank you
this is a great example of how the layout (or floorplan) helps to make a small place very live-able. my in-laws have a 2,600-sq ft. house (in Orange County, CA) with the hallway and bedrooms all clustered together in a way that when you have even just 2 people moving through it, you feel totally cramped and crowded. the relationship of the area to the layout is way more important than simply having "more" or "bigger."
*i'm sure people watching this video already know this, but it's those who believe only "bigger is better" that don't understand that concept.
Świetnie, że pojawia się coraz więcej mieszkań z Polski na tym kanale! Super urządzona przestrzeń. Jak dorobię się kiedyś własnego M, to zgłoszę się o pomoc do pani Alicji przy projektowaniu, bo bardzo odpowiada mi przedstawiona na filmie estetyka wnętrza i zastosowane rozwiązania.
This home is perfection. ❤
Such a stunning appartment, thank you so much. This is definitely one of my alltime favourites of 5 years of watching architecture of small and tiny home spaces. All the best ❤
I am speechless. This is the most beautiful and practical apartment I have ever seen. Congrats
Clean, uncluttered, sleek, and filled with light - what more could one ask for! It's such a small space, but it really feels so much bigger with this clever design and the light floors and walls. I also really like all the natural materials she included. I could very happily live in this space. 💗
This apartment is stunning. So beautiful and cosy. I love it!
One of the best i would say , modern and cosy, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful, well thought, functional space. Love it! 🙌🏿🔥
Piękne mieszkanie. Gratuluję projektu, modernistycznego , pięknego ,a zarazem funkcjonalnego.
Beautiful apartment! I love everything about it. She has done a great job designing and decorating it.
I’m originally from Poznan - wonderful to see such a beautiful apartment in my hometown! Lovely design.
