  • OUR NEW NYC APARTMENT TOUR! Inside Erik Conover’s SoHo Loft | NYC APARTMENT TOUR. Here it is a tour of my brand new home. It's still pretty surreal to be moving into my dream home in New York City. In this video I give you a tour of my empty NYC apartment, it's a fully renovated 2,000 square foot historic SoHo Loft, with high ceilings that really captures the true spirit and essence of old New York. I just moved in and have yet to furnish the apartment, so comment down below if you want to see a full in depth tour once I'm all settled in! - Erik

    The fact that there's 13ft high ceilings but you still have to duck in some places and hide a guest bed is a joke... I feel like the space had so much potential but I can't agree with the way the architect has used the space I'm afraid. I hope you'll be happy there long term but I personally would tire very quickly living in that apartment.

      So much space, yet 2 very pokey bedrooms and one massive bathroom. They could have had 2 floors in the main room, that would have given the apartment an extra bedroom by putting one front and one back with a full bathroom between the two. Far more liveable as a lay out.

      I was just thinking this is the same square footage of my 4/2 house that has a massive master, living room, dining room, and family room. Such a poor use of space. And I’m sure that long awkward hall is counted as part of the square footage, basically useless space if you aren’t an art collector.

I am european, living next to a forest in a fully renovated smart house that cost a lot less than this tiny apartment so I really can’t imagine living in this. And even if it has a lot of storage (not that much in my opinion) who would want a huge hallway in the middle of a flat while a bedroom can barely fit a bed?

    this apartment is beautiful but honestly, there's a lot that doesn't feel practical for actual living. a lot of 'luxury' spaces are designed with aesthetics in mind first because the people that live there don't actually spend that much time there. like yeah, the fridge/freezer drawers are super sleek but it means that you have to spend all your time in the kitchen bending down to get things. burners again, look super cool, but would probably make a huge mess every time you use them. you've got 2000 square feet but the bedroom can barely fit a king-sized bed? why not push that out a few feet so you actually have a bedroom space? all that vertical storage sounds awesome but if you can't reach it, you won't use it. especially in a bathroom cabinet that usually houses things you use every day. you have to pull out that drawer every time you want to watch tv? no way will you actually do that so it just gets left pulled out, defeating the entire purpose of the cabinet

And also the fact that none of the bedroom is even a proper bedroom especially for that high end of apartment... with that size and luxury finish of apartment like that, I expected at least 2 proper bedrooms plus 2 bathrooms ( 1 bathroom for guest and 1 ensuite bathroom).. Main bedroom in the luxury apartment normally have ensuite bathroom and it's not like this apartment dont have a space for it.. 2000 square feet is a big apartment...I feel the proportion is totally wrong.... whoever design the lay out thinking too much for "entertaining areas" and suddenly remember "oh sh\t we forgot to put the bedroom , ahh well, let's just stick it over here... lol"

    I’ve never seen such a large hallway u r forced to go through just to get to another super tight hallway to the kitchen. Not only that but why is there a bedroom/office next to the fucking kitchen. Also all the storage is just inconvenient. The way it’s placed, where it’s placed. An example is the fridge and freezer… Is that a joke?! Also there should be a bigger island for the kitchen. It just does not go well with the size of the room. The dining room table should be where the living room table/ The light would compliment the table well and I think that you can really socialize more when the living room is next to the kitchen. Also, the TV should not hide away. It makes it look emptyER. Why is tag bedroom not separated from the loft and stairs? There’s no privacy. This house is just a mess and badly designed. Good job 👏

    if you renovated to extend the loft in like A bridge manor over the dinning room you could have way more space uptop and the dinning area wouldnt feel as empty, and you would maintain the high ceilings in the dinning room and living room, it would also be cool to be able to over look your kitchen and living area

    Why didn’t they make an additional bedroom for guests on the first floor? An why is there no bathroom ups, even a half bath?
    You could move the dining room table closer to the kitchen, and wall off a bedroom between the living room area and the family room with TV and bookcase. There is no sound privacy in the loft. You need a room for a guest or child! Otherwise the space is huge and lovely.

      @@erikvanconover Once you get settled in the uniqueness and thrill of having all these features will fade. Humans are creatures of habit and practicality is naturally something we lean towards. That tv will most likely stay out because why keep tucking it away every time you want to watch tv? To say that uniqueness is sometimes more important than practicality seems a little odd. Most designers would disagree with that statement. Good design is meant to be both aesthetic AND practical/convenient/enjoyable to use. Highly recommend adding ‘the design of everything things’ by Don Norman (former designer at Apple) to that bookshelf - he is the king of user experience design which applies to everything we interact with, including architectural designs like this. Regardless, congrats on the new space!

    I’m 50/50 on this loft, although I wouldn’t personally choose to pay for/live somewhere like this, I can see why someone who can afford to would. The interior is playful, and gives a modern spin on what could be a pretty basic open plan loft space. I would always prefer open plan upon entry, and the long thin hallways aren’t for me, but it’s an awesome experience for guests, and if decorated well it can be an awesome welcome.
    I know it’s not furnished, and for that I’m so excited to see what the place will look like fully furnished as I it can really transform a space if designed correctly. I’m very intrigued…. Love the video

    I think that a better design would have allowed more useable space instead of the larger awkward spaces in the kitchen, dining area and the lounge. If the bathroom ceiling had been lower they could have created a nicer bedroom in the strange loft area. Hidden storage is great especially in apartments that usually lack storage space for everyday items. You don’t need 13 foot closets or cabinets with shelves so high up that you need a ladder to access whatever you put up there. Prime example is behind the mirror in the bathroom. Some hidden closets and cabinets with adjustable shelves would have been extremely helpful in the entryway for coats and shoes especially for guests. The apartment feels sterile, cold , and institutional in a bad way.
