    I would really love for this channel to also do break downs of costs, or at least give the overall total cost of renovation, apartment cost, etc. That would help more people be inspired to do these great things, versus thinking it's only meant for millionaires.

      @@kathklim that's perfect! If it's in Athens, then say the cost in Euro. If in the US, then in dollars. I think that provides some context, otherwise I'm thinking this is a million dollar make over in every video.

      Well I think you actually have to be - maybe not a millionaire - but at least rather wealthy. It’s not a cheap bargain if you consider all the handmade specifics that are required to make these small apartments as convenient as they are.

    The curved glass wall is everything, absolutely stunning detail. And the lighting around the column suddenly gives it a purpose in the design instead of feeling like it’s in the way as they often can feel.

    Beautiful design. Very ‘70s/‘80s Southern European but brighter and lighter. Genius placing the kitchen in what amounts to a walkway on the way to the bathroom. The long low counter means it doesn’t feel cramped but is still very usable and also well integrated with the living area.
    Agree with others that I’d want a desk of some sort, but that could be integrated into the room divider I’d imagine.

    I miss Athens. I visited my American college roommate there for a two week vacation in 1989 and stayed 5 years. We traveled to so many islands, worked, went to an American University there. It was the best time. Greece is a beautiful country and the people were very warm. The food was fantastic. I remember walking to the train station and on the hill was the Parthenon. Amazing.

      @Michael Ellingsworth I’d love to but time, money…. I’m 60, bad knee, life is more complicated. I know it wouldn’t be the same as my late 20’s but what a time. I had broken up with my first boyfriend of 6 years and took off…. Just what my soul needed, the islands and exciting city of Athens. An island would be ideal renting a place. I did know some Greek, but my jobs then expected English to be spoken and my friends had no patience to hear my elementary Greek when they wanted to practice their English. My roommate worked at the embassy and spoke fluent Greek, so I was spoiled.

We both have children born on the same date. If she hadn’t worked at the embassy, I never would have had the opportunity to stay so long. I remember Santorini before it was so famous. It took my breath away.

    Given the constraint to make it functional for a day-to-day activities, this is one very tasteful designed small apartment. From the use of curve to soften the hard materials, transparent divider to infuse light into the structured of frames, there is still space to add a touch or retro yellow-perforated partition to the dinning corner, yet, it doesn’t look cluttered at all! Most designers just resolve the space with off-the-template - white against white concept, here, the use of wood finishing are, carefully considered, boldly executed!! Love it!

    I can't get over the perfection in every detail. My reluctance about small living has always been the lack of separate spaces for separate functions. Although the kitchen is central to the shared space, it's designed to literally look like a hub instead of a mish mash of appliances. The dining area and living room are strongly defined with room to entertain many guests. The bedroom's opaque screens are gorgeous. If I could hire this company to redesign my life, I would. Well done.
