    I always feel that people can live quite well in small spaces. There's always such a push for bigger/larger but in reality, thoughtful design and creative solutions can get you the same (if not better) outcome.

      So, heres the thing. Kids do not know anything but what they have. If their lives starts in a small place, they adapt. Its most likely on the parents and what they want to achieve in life and what they want for their family. It is quite stressful to live in a small apartment as Daniel's with a kid and in the future two (CONGRATS ON THAT BY THE WAY. I had goosebumps!

      I think a happy medium is best. We don’t all need to live in mansions, but many Western countries also have a bit of a housing crisis at the moment. A tiny house or a studio flat are great solutions for some people and some life situations, but not for others. There is a risk of glorifying the small space lifestyle. Many developers sell “luxury apartments” that are just a normal size. I always wonder when having two or three bedrooms and enough space for a family became a luxury. Of course it’s good to walk through life with an attitude of gratitude, but working people need to be able to afford a family home. Some people might live in small homes out of choice, but many do out of necessity.

  • @mimandshaindy4906
    @mimandshaindy4906 Рік тому

    That was great! But also requires a willing partner. We had 1 kid in a 650sf 1br with a Murphy bed in the living room for my wife and I, while our son had the bedroom. The dining table and “office nook” were both on IKEA Norden gate leg tables (hacked with castors) and stowed when not in use. We did that for three years. First it was cool; our NYC version of tiny house living, but by year 3 and a second child born, my wife was done with tiny house living. For baby 2 we also put the crib on castors and moved it between rooms for naps. Don’t get me wrong, I love minimalist, small space, car free, urban living. But when my wife decided she’d had enough, that was the end of it. Now we’re in a 2 bed 1 bath, and with a third on the way, we are quickly outgrowing that one too, and she’s ready to have a second bathroom. I love your work; visually, aesthetically and philosophically. - Mim

    I’m with you on preferring smaller spaces. I live in a studio. I find satisfaction in knowing that every sq ft serves a purpose, though trade offs are to be made in order to maintain all the functionality that you need. I previously had my office situated in my living area, which was nice because I had the room to intentionally build out the office I really wanted. Then I bought a couch, and now my desk is in my kitchen lol. Over all it works out much better this way!

      Same here. I actually moved from a one bedroom to a studio 3 months ago. I find it comforting too. Knowing where everything is, and how easy it is to clean, makes me more relaxed. I hate clutter and it stresses me out. I also work from home, and organising a studio is like playing Tetris lol.
      Wanna swap pics of our studios? 😅. I'm always curious how everyone organises theirs lol.

    So much love for this channel and this particular challenge, Daniel. I've just moved out of my first home of 12 years, which was a 19th-century terraced cottage in southeast UK. The struggle for space and storage was ever-present, but it was a great challenge to have, and I actually really enjoyed finding clever ways to maximise and 'unlock' space whilst minimising our living at/working from home footprint.

    I really like the idea of getting the most out of a small place. It's easy to make tons of content in a big house where you can stretch all the way, but having a decent small space is way harder. However, this type of content is so much more relevant to a lot of people. Thanks Daniel

    Hi Daniel, thanks for sharing this tip :) I've tried it and I recommend not buying replacement mattresses that are too heavy. The mattresses sold by Ikea for this bed weigh about 6.80kg and standard mattresses weigh between 12 and 17kg. My new mattresses weigh 25kg each and now I can't turn the bed into a single. 😀

    I was literally talking to a friend who also has 2 children yesterday about your channel and wondering how you're going to stay minimal with a child and lo and behold, the answer came today! 😊 We live in tiny flats in London as well so we can completely relate to these issues. Great ideas. Whenever I watch your videos, I tell my husband D - hey come over here, we should do this... Also, great videography. You're getting better and better! And yes, we would love ideas for when you have TWO children in a small space!

    We’re 2+2 family living in a 53m2 2 bed apartment and it’s so refreshing to see how other families need to move around furniture, change functions to adapt the space to the changing needs. We basically reorganize sth every 6 months. Just now, when my kids are 5 and 7 i feel like we can settle down for a bit. We would love to get a bigger apartment, give our boys separate rooms but prices are horrendous. So for now we choose great neighbourhood over living space

I can have sleeping and working space in the same room. But if you are organized this will work out great. Thank you so much for sharing this video! It was very insightful

    Hey, I enjoy your videos a lot and wanted to suggest a shared work space. Won't that solve all your problems? You get your bedroom back and also a separate room for work. That way you can also have a daily commute and may meet new cool people. Keep up with the good work!

  • @anthonyh1956

    Love how you three are making your small space work and how that inspires others to think of what might be possible. We have four living in an older condo ~1050sqft, that is hard to do; but we did have enough space to give the kids separate bedrooms by utilizing part of the large living room, some IKEA Pax cabinets and ingenuity.
    As to the possible punchline at the end of the video, only you can tell us if that was a good old British gag-line setup or not😊

    Just a thought, if you were to take a hacksaw to the electric sit stand desk, cut the wall facing foot and armature down to about 10cm, drill a hole in the 10cm spur, bolt angle to the foot and attach it to the wall above the skirting. Wirk out the depth from the front of the screen, turn your PC sideways, cut the desktop so you have a couple of centimetres and fit a piano hinge between the two. Then you could still have a sitstand desk, but with the top that could hinge up to hide the work area from the sleep area. Hope I've explained it to be understandable

    So which specific model of computer do you use? You mention computer visualization, but what about your architectural design software? What do you use for that, and do you think it will run something like Chief Architect?

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on the longer term effects of working where you sleep. I always found it tough in Uni but maybe that was other factors 😂
