Architect’s Micro Studio Apartment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2019
- In this video, we tour the incredible 28sqm (301sqft) apartment of architect Douglas Wan. The Melbourne apartment was originally constructed in the 1950's as housing for nurses. It’s now been completely reimagined for modern times and transformed into a clever small studio.

For Douglas, this was an opportunity to develop a small living space that would perfectly fit his needs and lifestyle. Attracted to simple living and a self described monastic lifestyle, he wanted to create a place where he could be a part of the city, yet also retreat from it. He ventured to carry out an architectural experiment and find out what was possible in his own small home.

The result is a micro apartment which is as clever as it is simple. One which utilises the entire space, while remaining open and light. It’s rustic history is celebrated, yet also contrasted with the modern elements. Most importantly, it’s a wonderful home.
Enjoy the full video tour of this very special tiny apartment.

Interviewer: I LOVE THIS PLACE, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS
Architect: ᵒᵏ
Why is this so deep lol
damn bro hahaha
So cute!♡
If he used bigger words, the place would explode
They are the personified difference between lowercase and CAPS LOCK
He is that anime boy whose glasses shines whenever he has bright/evil idea.
🤣🤣😂
😂😂😂
Yeah and his apartment is awesome
😂😂😂
This is perfect LOLOL
As an Architect, this is way more pleasing and inspiring to watch than the top end million dollar apartment tours
Yasss
So well planned,
Agreed 🔥 those apartments and mansions give you perspective on what can be done when no budget is really present and these tiny houses show you creative ways of seeing the space you design and help you create solutions for problems you wouldn't normally consider as a problem but never think if it could be done better to open up a space
For sure!
@@Mesrt99 You got that right. I love watching these Shows and know that clutter can create stress and less clutter is less mess.
Interviewer gives me dog energy, while the architect is serving pure feline.
Dude that is so true
Bryce reminds me of a golden retriever. Cheerful, energetic, friendly, loving life and everybody and being enthusiastic about every home he sees.

"People are like water. People are more adaptable than objects."
Nice.
i think this was a rephrasing of the late Bruce Lee's saying
Im basically water
Bruce Lee fan I see
Genius!
That was my number one takeaway from this. What a great concept!
He speaks in the tiniest lowercase possible lol he's so cool and inspiring
Ikr, he's very quiet but his work speaks for his succes
Also, he’s Lowkey a snack
The word you’re looking for is subscript
Madelyn Garcia lol thanks, I like you, in the search for people like this
@@leajoon2247 shut up
"I grew up in the suburbs and I always wanted to be close to where the action is, but not so close that I'm affected by it on a daily basis"
I resonate with that so much
Me too. I live on the city edge of a Swiss city, 10 Min by bus or tram to the city centre, but still in a quiet place at the edge. It works for me (I am in a 3 BR apartment alone).
Couldn't agree more! As he states a quasi-monastic way of living...
And also lead a monastic life.
Same. I do best alone so I need somewhere I can find solitude. But it helps my anxiety knowing that I'm not totally alone. And that theres always somewhere to go or something to do, if I so choose. You can really feel the energy and life around you and that's comforting to me. Like he said theres a community aspect of being part of a bigger society
A real-life Sheldon Cooper.
I love how there's a lot of contrast in this video; the bricks and plywood, dark and light tones, and the extrovert host and introvert architect
I feel inspired might convert my garage
When you invite your extroverted friend over:
lol
Omg yes
and he keeps effusively telling you how 'interesting' everything is
Totssss
This video was going to be titled "World's Loudest and Quietest Men Finally Meet"
Tom Lever 😂😂😂
No way was the interviewer loud
@@zawadsadaf9194 Hundreds of people would disagree with you. 🤷♂️
Tom Lever I don’t know how loud you guys speak but that’s kinda how I see majority of people speak at. Maybe the other guy being really quiet made you feel that way.
He's not loud, the boy is just speaking in a low tone.
The architect is unintentional ASMR to the max, I just want him to talk at me for hours until I fall asleep at night thinking about weight bearing walls and support beams
This comment deserves more likes!! Totally relate to this statement.
lol
@@siberiawolf seriously 😂
Underrated comment
Lol
i need this type of calm and collected energy in my life 😭 “people are like water, more adaptable than objects” he ain’t wrong omgggg someone said this is a dissertation or thesis 😩
be water my friend lol
Imagine someone trying to rob him, just standing there being fascinated by the apartment
Then the robber decide to rob thé entier appartement
Robber stands in awe and gets robbed by owner
robber will just rob the architect
Robber: can you design our apartment? it is quite a mess.
Robs toilet paper. That's how you know it was a heartless monster.
This guy talks in poetry yet understandable.
It's truly beautiful :')
SO TRUE
One who has mastered architectural communication
It's called speaking in English.
So it is written
This young architect has all my admiration. He has a deep sense of awareness of his inner and outside world. He has successfully created a space in his image; it has character, it is functional, and minimalist. Bravo. :-)
architect: lemme show u my music skills **starts playing**
editor: *no.*
Architect
Idk Tbh thanks :-)
al_n __ no problem
Not allowed to show too much talent.
lol i was thinking the same
"People are more adaptable than objects" best quote!
Which came from Bruce Lee's quote "be like water"....
Can you explain what does it mean?
@@Adrian-wd4rn Doesn't necessarily have to be the case here tho
@@Adrian-wd4rn Also, be like water is a saying that had been around for centuries.
Im gonna still that for my next architectural presentation
So he’s an architect, an artist, a pianist, and a poet?
...I hate how cool this guy is.
Yeah not gonna lie the envy started to kick in about halfway through
all to sum he is an asian😀
whatever we think we can do.theres an asian person out there that will always do it better 🤷♀️
What did you expect... he's an Asian. Plus that's not even his final form.
Dr. M Hyde he also cooks and reads 😭
His ample knowledge of psychology and philosophy and the way he incorporates it into his architectonic designs is just amazing. Also his calmness and eloquence ... he must be swamped with job offers after this video :)
Hope so!
I hope so too, he definitely takes a lot of time to think about the way he wants to live, I'm sure that he will do the same for everyone else that he works with. Just amazing 😍
His approach is
a very eloquent considered one. It feels like such a calm space. Thanks so much!
Could Bryce interview some of this architect's other projects? He has totally captivated me, his design is pragmatic, esthetically brilliant and even spiritual! I am ready to move away from a staircase that doubles up as storage. This is substance!
Yes! One video is not enough.
Yes! I'm fascinated too.
Me, three!
me four
Five!
Ok. I am in love with the architect, how he defines his house and explains the space. His choice of words and metaphors is intriguing and surprising and he has a calm warmth and depth! Absolutely in love.
@@minnievenkat I thought I was the only one!
GOSHHHHH YOU ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT THAT HAHAHAHAHA
Petula Guimaraes yessss
That's exactly what I was thinking!
I think he is a bit soft.. But I am impressed with his thought and design
the architect is i n c r e d i b l e but y'all aren't giving the interviewer enough attention, he's so genuine and eager to learn about the house and is such a good listener, I think he's just as precious
Taylor yes they contrast beautifully
Yall arent giving enough attention for the cameraman lmao
Nope, the interviewer talks in a very scripted, "Oh, Jennifer this new haircut looks GREAT on you!" way, I'm leaving a dislike in hopes that YT won't suggest me another video.
Marcotonio damn that’s a bit harsh, his summarising comments at the end came across as very genuine and like he’d learnt a lot from being taken through that space.
@@madabouthollyoaks411 Ah, I'm sure he holds a genuine interest in the craft, but as an introvert I'm very easily annoyed by people exaggerating their verbal expression for the sake of clarity. The fake extra enthusiasm comes off as fake interest. The house owner shows that it is not necessary to talk like that to show your passion on a base level, but I'm sure it is an important tool for having mass-appeal used by the host, after all he has to guide the conversation and compensate anything he feels that wasn't explicit enough for the average audience.
He talks with the unrealistic eloquence of a movie character giving a monologue
Fancy seeing you here PD
PD!!
you come here often? ;)
Hey, Form of therapy, it's you! ^^ Yes, he appears to be a sort of highly intelligent+eloquent individual with heavy traits of an introvert...I'd love to listen to him talk over a cup of tea and in that beautiful raised sitting area...
Yes. I love it!
ok this guy just shared so many valuable concepts about architecture in 13 minutes! Thank you, Douglas!
The architect’s vocabulary is as beautiful as his home.
Exactly, his home is amazing but the way he talks about it was breathetaking. 😍
Singaporean
We are trained to speak like this but try speaking like this to your average joe who has no sense or understanding of architecture.
Scripted
I thought the same thing. My belief is he reads a lot and his use of words like monastic tells me he's into spiritual exploration and discovery which is an essential part of minimalism living. You dispense with the fluff and keep the things that are important, like the monks. That doesn't mean he doesn't indulge once in a while as evident by the two bags of chips (or crisps) in the cabinet.
Here I am thinking my life isn't as great because of the housing crisis we currently experience in Toronto but you know it's all about making do with what you have. Very inspirational person.
the interviewer is me trying to become friends with the cool person in school who is way too chill and thinks i'm weird
I can relate to that 😂😂
Sa3ooda OMD 😭🤣🤣
this is wayyy too funny! :D
OMG I was thinking the same way 😂
Lmaoo😂😂
9:35 I really like what he said here. Like imagine normally tiny houses ‘prepared’ for having several guests would have identical chairs hidden away and you’d have to move a lot of things around to pull them out. I like how he’s honest like “Yeah the bed stays out most of the time”, cause many tiny houses look really cool and minimalistic but you have to pull the bed in and out every night to have a living room and it doesn’t seem like much when just seeing a video, but I’d imagine it would get tiresome to have to do that every day. So yeah, it’s nice to see a tiny space like this one and his take on “People are more adaptable than things”.
As an extreme introvert, I really resonate with his desire to be "close to the action" (my words), but also live a somewhat "monastic" life in the midst of that. Very cool.
The way this dude explain things, i feel like i just watched a thesis presentation
😂😂😂
Very much so.
Well he is an architect
a brilliant thesis presentation :)
Pretty detailed
His explanation makes complicated things understandable, that is how you know one is intelligent
Its like the einstein quote: "if you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself"
yes, if an idiot was explaining that his bed comes out from underneath that platform onto the top of the platform to create the sleeping space, then I'd have never understood.
exactly the opposite......makes simple things look complicated and pretentious
He is talking about space, light, utilization and feelings behind his apartment's design, all in the same time, but in detail and with a proper explanation. That's what im sayin.
So yes, it may look simple, but there's a comprehensive thought in every detail of his apartment and he is taking us to understand that by explaining it very well to us.
I'm sorry if u understand my comment differently.
@@deboranuhamara I agree with you and I didnt mean to sound offensive as an architect maybe I have developped an overexaggerated sense of my colleagues pretentiosness
I FOUND IT FINALLY
I remember watching this a few years back and LOVING IT - everything, the incredibly practical, simple, spiritual, beautiful design and the architect himself
I suddenly had the urge to watch the video again and searched for a while - not dissapointed! Its so theraputic!
I gotta save this somewhere owo
Omg same I literally searched tiny flat renovation and then Asian in London and whatnot and then finally ended up finding the video 😭😭 I'm gonna save this before I freak out again and not find it
Me too 😅
You know this guy is cool when he said 'after you' before the host Bryce could.
this guy is so smart he procrastinates by playing the piano. when i procrastinate, i watch UA-cam videos of elephants listening to music for 5 hours straight.
Sa3ooda lol
Haha cheap thrills
Actually I took comfort that someone like him *does* even procrastinate!😂
Sa3ooda i watch the same channel😂😂
Well, elephants are not the worst choice
This home suites his spirit. He appears calm and humble same as the space he created. Awesome job.
Sharon Piper oh yeah! He looks like a very humble guy
Finally more of him. He's soo hot. Can't find anything else on him online.
900 liker💪🏼
Exactly
@@RecoveringChristian i agree
The way he explains things seems similar to that wise man from films to whom people train or learn from. He's very philosophical. I can feel that old soul vibe in him.
Out of all the tiny house owners in Bryce's channel, this guy is the only one that I've heard giving meaning to things in this way. Kudos to you! You really gave yourself the best place to flow.
This guy is a "genius of combining simplicity with functionality" and top of his talent what a beautiful personality he has. I would fully trust him to design my space.
I aspire to be as calm, graceful, and intelligent as this architect.
sure...
He is an INTJ through and through.
John doue Quebec jealousy in the air
@John doue Quebec you haven't got clue what you are talking in about go on google and make some research before to make some comments
@John doue Quebec Yes. I'm sure your house built by yourself.
This young architect has such a poetic way of speaking. Love it, and the design, too. :)
Yup, like when he said that people are like water. I love it
He's great. Must have read some good books on spaces from anthropology/sociology.
standard artsy Asians
(Yeah we’re definitely not racist on the internet)
Yeah he seems very intelligent.
The architect is amazing. He has projected his calmness, serenity and organized persona into the design of this very peaceful space. Simplistic but grand.
"From profane to sacred" damn this guy is in a whole new dimension
The way he talks about architecture throughout the times from Japanese design to 1920's & 1930's, religious sites, and the flow of the layout you can tell he is a master of his craft and is truly passionate about it.
I agree. This is what being a "subject matter expert" looks like. He has put in the time and effort to become the master of his craft. Good for him.
i really admire him for that
He's so passionate about his space he created. I would love to hire him to design me a space.
"I find usually that people are like water, people are more adaptable than objects."
Dude is like nerdy Bruce Lee.
But japanese
You caught that too lol
Bruce lee was the most deadly nerd ever
@@Derp___ but wasn't japanese
Sri Kanth did I say he was Japanese?
"The aesthetic of a caves darkness leading to light" did i hear that right? What a poetic designer! Superb!
Seriously, I don't know which one is more incredible, if the apartment or the mind of the designer/owner.
Not one word coming out of this guy is a waist, and the way he constructs his speech is as clever as his design.
Humble with strong beliefs, secure enough to be willing to share his knowledge without reservations.
I agree
This guy spits fire in the calmest way possible
exactly! very well articulated!
Accurate

Being an architect and designing your own house must be so empowering
Yea, like really. Turn a very normal, cheap apartment into a masterpiece
Adnan A Absolutely!
Since my ealry beginnings into this path I‘ve been creating designs for my own potential apartments. Just waiting for having enough money to fulfill my dream.
My aunt designed his own house & she is not even arquitech xdd same with his 4 floor apartments she made it everything by herself prioritizing all natural light possible
why I see u commenting in nearly every video I watch
The architect's voice is just so incredibly gentle and relaxing. Like he should do ASMR of just describing some of his projects or reading poetry.
Unique space. He seems like a gentle soul with immense intelligence and creativity. Dig the flow of his home.
I love how he talks about architectural inspirations and it’s concept
heyaaa me too
I thought it was a she
Does anyone know if he has a channel or anything? I'd love to hear him talk more about that stuff
ik it’s kinda hot.. im an aspiring architect
I do, too! He's very articulare, for sure.
“People are like water” Love it.
Yes, I especially loved that quote too!
Being able to adapt like water is a core teaching in Taoism.
Lucia Rojas Didn’t Douglas have some very interesting and profound sentiments about people and living and life? Favourite video yet!
Be water my friend. -Bruce Lee

Modern definition of the "be water my friend" concept. This guy would be a great friend to have
This might be the most beautiful micro studio apartment I've ever seen. So brilliantly engineered, spacious, and comfortable. It doesn't feel like much is sacrificed either -- and best of all, this feels like something that could be expanded at-large (ideally affordably!) especially in larger cities. Personally, I'd try to halve the length of the platform and install a murphy bed on the other side. This is one of my all-time favorite micro studio designs. Thank you for sharing!
Is nobody going to point out his eloquence ? The way he spoke, the words he chose .. This guys just gives off this air of professionalism

I find Americans use slang a lot and make a lot of grammatical mistake. Even though English is not my first language I feel people like me make a conscious effort to be articulate .

“People are like water.” This is so true. Living in different cultures, it’s a very human thing to watch people find purchase on floors grass sofas cushions as the social situation demands. This was a lovely video and the intelligence in all the explanations was fantastic
I could listen to Doug speak all day. I feel like I'm in a zen meditation.
Anastassia Fowler You’re right. I’d listen to him read the phone book honestly, but also just the fact that he’s so eloquent and loves architecture so genuinely is another part that makes listening to him so wonderful.
He should do audiobooks... hahaha
omg trueeee his voice is so nice to listen to
He didn't give a Doug score tho?
ASMR
He's actually so smart. All the architecture language and pronunciation of thoughts are admirable, especially when he said the "alcove for your shoes"
Bruh when he said that I tapped out
i thought so too.
The alcove for the shoes is an Asian thing. Asian people always leave their footwear before entering a house. They do this because they believe that the outside is dirty while the inside is clean, and they shouldn't be mixed. Point is, I believe that the alcove for the shoes just came to him instinctively because he's Asian.
So, yeah, he really did communicate well architecturally. Damn, his design is so sharp and astounding!
you can tell he just graduated
@@roicipriano6016 Way to minimize a brilliantly executed design to a stupid pigeon-holing racialist "must be simply cause he's asian" statement. So dumb.
Not everyone would design it so flawlessly...I'm sure you missed it but he said that was a practicality thing due to the plumbing fixtures, it's very hard to hear. Architects think of solutions to problems, and anyone designing such a tiny space would have an issue with shoe storage/a welcome mat. It's so easy to say "That's the obvious thing to do" when design is done well, but it takes actual vision to think of new solutions, not just asian blood.
he literally said: i don't really care for guests but if they want to come visit they'll find their own space!! because people just do that!! and i think that's beautiful
I'm in awe of this guy. I love how well thought out his place is. Really beautiful. Wow
This man is not just a genius architect. He's a poet and philosopher as well.

Doug @ j-in
It looks amazing, you should be proud!
You've done an excellent job mate. You should be specialising in small apartments and spaces. I've worked on plenty of small apartments over the years, and their cookie cutter designs are usually a terrible waste of space, and all rather boring.
Awesome job Doug!! You have created a fantastic living space!
one of the best utilize space i've seen so far. love to see you progress mate!
Very inspiring, I love this space you have created.
I love apartment living myself and I hope to incorporate some of your ideas and feel into my next one.
This is a beautifully appointed accommodation that is just right for a single person/student/professional. The colors used and the way natural elements have been used is clever. No clutter, no elaborate foldable furniture and definitely easy to maintain dwelling space that is so peaceful to look
I love living in small spaces. This spoke to me in a beautiful way. I love how he talked about people thinking you are mission out but meanwhile you are immensely happy with living small. LOVED this!
me : "Does he not have a tv?"
*Lowers blinds , uses it as a projector screen*
GeNiUs
lol!!
exactly my thought
LillyMoki when you have phone and computer, you don’t need TV. Lol
@PUBGM IS OVERRATED there's that Dyson fan right on the lower left of his desk
tv is not the same as a projector though.... n u can tell he barely watches cable

I was thinking similarly as I watched
Is anyone gonna talk about how yin yang is literally present in the whole apartment, there are white areas and there are black areas and also the interviewer is wearing black while the architect is wearing white
that's dualism concept of the 'chinese' he is 'japanese' XD
Such a well thought out and practical space, yet has a feeling of spaciousness, calm, and beauty. I love the light filled living space, and the few plants that bring in a spark of life and color. I like that the bespoke desk ledges can be moved back and forth to reveal the piano keyboard, or to use the computer keyboard, without fancy hardware. Simple is best!
Zen master of design and explanation, design the space that fits your needs and what makes you happy and that’s the definition of success
He's so poetic without even trying
You can tell he reads everyday. He probably reads all sorts of genres too. The way he articulates what he’s trying to say is done in the most efficient way possible. There are no “likes” “um’s” or “literally’s”.
Thanks for noticing that. Now am questioning my speech.😓
8:23
Jennifer Reyes he used one “uh” when I would’ve used 25 🤣
And its not his mother language f*&k. the only mandarin i got is ni hao ma
10:40 “uh” stop making this guy seem like he’s superior to everyone. Maybe he’s better than you, but architects can’t compete with programmers like myself. We are superior to these lazy bums
out of all the tiny homes i've seen this is personally my favorite!
I first saw this apartment in Never Too Small and when i saw it here again i recognized it INSTANTLY. It's one of my favorite apartment designs ever featured in these types of videos. So memorable and simple and thoughtful.
