    I wouldn't want a tub or shower in my bedroom, but their options were likely limited with only 33sqm/355sqft available. Otherwise the apartment and the finishes are stunning, the amount of storage area is impressive, and Mr. Fox is a rockstar.

    What a lovely warm apartment! You get the feeling that the things they have are carefully and lovingly selected, and that's why they repeatedly talk about how they were careful to think about how they would be displayed. This kind of more thoughtful approach to consumption is very appealing to me. When I was living alone in my own tiny 30sqm apartment this is the kind of space I'd wished I had.

    What a beautiful apartment. I’d have changed a few things primarily to suit my taste (I’d eliminate the bath and put more storage there, for instance-I need a spot for the instant pot and stand mixer and… and… when they’re not in use), but that’s just me. And that shower is beautiful.
    The materials are stunning. Neutral but not at all bland, quite the opposite. Calming, but captivating at the same time. Whichever way you look, your eye rests on something interesting, like the kitchen pulls, the cane chairs, or the pendant. It’s soothing.

    I love that's mostly exact as my home is made, so some things I want and something I don't! Firstly is GENIAL how you approaced with the bathroom but unluckly I live so near to a river(that's both amazing and horrible) so my home is so so full of humidity. I also thought to put a lift bed with downside the sofà since I want a big dining room + kitchen mostly for office use (a big dining tablet is a perfect office tablet) but it is noisy so I had put the bed I thought would have been better doing a "studio apartment alike" that is a second office in the other room who is silent. Since there's not bath I put the bath creating a smaller from the kitchen. Both rooms are 20m2. In the hallway I wanted to place the closet.

    I like their design style very much. Love the colors and pieces they chose. There was an elegant casualness to it. For me, though I liked the look of the bathroom, felt very luxurious, I wouldn't be keen on having a tub and sink in the bedroom. I don't find it practical if one person is sleeping and the other needs to get ready to go somewhere. And also, with neighbors that close it would force you to constantly having to close your blinds/curtains anytime you want to shower or take a bath. Creating a water closet was a smart choice, and I loved the bold wall paper.

I would have also been more space-efficient by not separating the WC (plus I personally dislike WCs separate from bathrooms and would never have a bath in a bedroom, but that's personal choice).

    It is an excellent design and has a great usage of space. The missed opportunities are > the sofa without foldout bed or storage and the lack of overhead cupboards above the kitchen shelves. Otherwise a very beautiful bathroom design. 👏👏👏

    Balcony is a very special place, so do not skip it, please.

    What would be awesome is an industrial glasswall to « separate » the bathroom.

    I LOVE this apartment. Truly one of the fav's I've seen on this channel. Sometimes they feel small, but this doesn't.

      Yes, it does feel small.

    Beautiful place. Personally I never have a bath so would use the space for something else but we are all different. As others have said I would love to see more of the balcony.
