    This is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing. So liveable and such intelligent use of space. A proper sofa ✔️ A comfy armchair ✔️ A kitchen you could cook in ✔️ A full size fridge ✔️ storage ✔️ sensible functional lighting ✔️ a sense that someone with stuff actually lives there ✔️ I’m actually a bit obsessed.

    What a stunning apartment with an ingenious use of space and everything well-organized in its place. The light wood tone and colour scheme throughout as well as minimalist décor make this small space feel much larger, more open, and airy. Brilliant! :)

  • @RottenlyMoodyChild
    @RottenlyMoodyChild 2 місяці тому +82

    One of my favourites, ever! Really efficient and effective use of the space. Made the most and maximised the use of space so that everything has its place and they can function in their daily life with ease. It just flows.
    I particularly like how he has switched the stairs from one side of the apartment to the other wall, so now you have a view from kitchen and it isn't blocking the connection beyond the kitchen anymore.
    A simple neutral palette accented with pops of colour through books, accessories and decor.
    A lot to love 💚
    Thanks for another great video, NTS team.

    Those steps do look a bit steep, ( for me for sure) but hey, if you can manage them when you are drunk or ill, sure saves space, as you said. It looks like your space can use a another plant or two... Congratulations.

    For this little space, he really makes the most out of it! It is smart to rearrange the ladder to mezzanine so that the kitchen is facing the window with nothing blocking the view. Plenty of storage yet a dedicated living space with SPACE! Very thoughtful design. I hope it is safe to sleep on top of a bunch of wiring… but, I love this place. It is designed for living in it.

    Kept waiting to see how he came down those stairs. That's the one thing I think needs a revision. Even a slide out ladder would be more practical, I think. Since he has access to CNC machines, I bet he could design and build stairs that fold nearly flat when not in use but pull out to be comfortable stairs when needed. There's also the kind that fold against the side wall, but that might interfere with the projector screen.

    It's just wonderful and I especially love how he has chosen not to put cupboard doors on the shelves in front of the kitchen. I love seeing, not just the books, but the skateboard, the camera, the workbox and the helmet. These are things that when he sees them, he feels happy (maybe not the workbox). Also, the way the sneakers are arranged on a shallow shelf, heel to heel, they look like artworks, or wings. I can imagine a column of beautiful shoes heel to heel, like this. I've never seen shoes stored in this way, it suits a small shallow space, and it suits the workmanship in shoes, some of which are very beautiful indeed. Lovely home. Wishing him many happy years in it and safe travels on his bike!

    The only problem I have is the access to the wardrobe. I am already so lazy to put my clothes back in my walk-in closet when they are clean but here, it would be even more problematic.
    A tiny window for the bathroom that goes into the living room would have been perfect to have a bit a natural light there and openness.
    But otherall, j'adore l'agencement !

      Yes, I’m not worried about the wardrobe but I would definitely want a window for natural light too. He seems happy though!

    Finally a place with comfortable couch and chair!! Not sure I would manage with the low ceiling in the sleeping area but otherwise it’s great.
