      @12natizinha, I agree - I would have chosen one or two larger size seating and back cushions. But, they don't have a tv to watch. They live in Sydney, so possibly live outside their home more. And the designer talked about her clients liking a Japanese and Scandi aesthetic. So I think the multiple cushions on the seating reflect that. They also add some visual texture to the space.

    I really love how the designer kept the internal walls and everything the same and just repaired things that were already in there. Some might say "well, it's not that impressive, all she did was repaint some shutters" but I think we should get out of the mindset that you have to make a renovation a huge project and totally replan the space. The original apartment layout worked here, and simple things like repairing and repainting the shutters are not only economically and environmentally smart decisions, it still contributes to the new look of the apartment - the before and after pictures were so different, even though the bones of the space were the same. In many ways I think it is harder to design within existing parameters of internal walls than to knock everything down and start from scratch, but Mariah Burton has done a great job with this space.

      I'd guess mum and dad had an investment property that went empty thanks to the border closures (Chippendale has a big international student population in normal times) and they're 'renting' aka mortgage to the bank of mum and dad with the responsibility of doing renos on it.

    One of the big compromises here is the workspace. For one, kitchen counters are pretty far off from the ideal height of a desk in terms of ergonomics.

      I think if they had a tv, the closeness between workspace and living would be a bigger problem than it is - it's looking like they use the sofa as a space enclosed within itself. I suppose most of us see the sofa as one corner of a space which faces the tv area! Plus i imagine they might potentially use that large pc monitor for work, but also to watch films if ever needed

    • @Vikinatorn
      @Vikinatorn 4 роки тому +8

      @@jcquing True... In the video however is looks like they use a barstool with a footrest to solve the high desk situation. It doesn't have any adjustability, so no extra points for ergonomics. And since you can't reach the ground while sitting there, and it doesn't swivel or roll, it's probably a struggle to get out of too.
      Whether it's a good compromise or not I'd say mostly depends on how much time is spent working there.

    I like the kitchen layout (2:18). It's the perfect workflow for right handed cook. Sink (clean and wash ingredients) -> Space for cutting and preparation -> stove (it's easy to add food with your left hand but steer with right!) -> And again some space just for serving that has to be dry and clean! It seems to be an obvious thing but in various places such workflow wasn't applied.

    Lovely minimalist design, without looking ‘sterile’. I understand that the bathroom was not shown due to it being a second stage renovation, but why was the balcony space omitted? It looks like quite a large space that adds quite a lot of living space to the home. I would have liked to see exactly how it is arranged. It looks as though the balcony is almost entirely closed in, like another room, but without addressing it, there’s no way to tell for sure.

      @samia elmi i guess everyone in Paris is on a low quality life lol... most of my friends, who are in their late twenties, cannot afford more than 40 sqm (if you're a couple), and i think some of the flats they live in would really benefit from a nice renovation similar to this one, making it probably a bit more bearable - the thing is, most people rent their flats, and the landlords don't really care about making significant changes because it's so hard to get a decently prized flat in Paris that you take it even if it's in kinda bad shape, and I think it is the case in many other cities in Europe
