Home to designer and carpenter Marijn Kruikemeier and his partner Liya, this once-empty shell in the heart of Amsterdam was completely transformed into a bright, contemporary space filled with full-size amenities and a seamless flow between spaces. The couple addressed the challenge of a narrow floor plan by adding a series of custom-built furniture throughout, the stand-out being a curved slatted oak wall unit opposite a full-size galley kitchen. The unit cleverly conceals a hidden bathroom, larger kitchen appliances as well as a series of storage niches for smaller items. The unit flows seamlessly into the living room, where a floor-to-ceiling cabinet spanning the length of the room houses a hidden TV that emerges and disappears via an electronic lift mechanism. At the end of the apartment, the sunlit bedroom featuring a built-in terracotta-coloured wardrobe surrounding the bed, leads to the tranquil backyard, a welcome extension of the couple’s living space in warmer months.

I agree! In fact 48 m is a normal size of an apartment in a big city in other countries too! The “problem” of that particular space is not the meters but the shape -long rectangle vs a square.

@badger9156 Год назад

I love how the dining space feels like you are sitting in the window of a café! Such amazing vision, look how far you’ve taken the space. Especially love the materials chosen and the way you planned for natural light to travel throughout the entire space. Also love the powder room under the stair! Well done 🎉

We live in Amsterdam now and so we might be biased, but this is one of my favourite homes! Love that the couple still has a full sized, functioning kitchen in such a small space. We once viewed a newly renovated, 60+ sq m home with a BAR fridge - shows how that designer was not thinking about function for a modern family.

@Veronensis 11 месяцев назад

I don't think it "shows the designer wasn't thinking about function for a modern family", I think it's just cultural differences. No matter what space I have lived in, I have never had anything other than a bar sized fridge. When I was a kid, my family of four had a bar sized fridge, and it was no problem. You just go shopping twice a week instead of once. I live in a 88sqm home right now, and I still have a bar fridge in my kitchen. When you live in a city in the Netherlands and there is a grocery store around every corner, you don't need one of those humongous american fridges that stores enough food for a month.

I hate to break it to everybody but 48sqm is actually a sizable appartement in Amsterdam. The design is gorgeous but the focus on ‘wanting to have full sized x and y’ makes it seem like it’s a teeny tiny house. As if there’s not thousands of Amsterdam people living in ~30sqm like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

@lunatickgeo Год назад

Absolute genius design! This home checks so many of my own personal boxes: separate w/c from the bath, everything is on the same floor, small garden/backyard, lots of light, the dining room is a comfortable alternative to other than just dining, outdoor lounging and dining options. I also love their choices of materials and colors. The only downside for me is that since I'm not a sociable person, that kitchen is too big for my use and I have no need for a bar but that is by no means a minus for them. It's incredible that they not only fit everything they wanted and needed, but did so so elegantly! If I were to personalize the space, all I would do is make the office space bigger to fit my gaming rig, remove the bar (for storage?), and remove that wall of appliances in the kitchen. I can probably fit everything I need in the one side and now I can probably waddle down the kitchen without having to shuffle sideways! 😅

@aesaphyr Год назад

I know that this is the norm but I can't help admire the risk taken with the large windows on both sides in a ground floor apartment - giving a perfect view into the home from the street and making it obvious that they are a decently well off home. I lived in Edinburgh for many years in an affluent area and watched from the first floor as burglars broke into the unit below mine many times. Usually they just smashed the window (a similar beautiful period bay window as the one in this apartment), ran in, grabbed what they wanted and back out again. But sometimes they broke the door too (takes longer than the fraction of a second needed to break a window) and it was a door exactly like this one. This apartment is beautiful but some choices were definitely made which take safety for granted.

@rethap3612 Год назад

Yes, as a South African I was also astounded at the lack of visible security, e.g. burglar bars.

@kamaniaakil2624 Год назад

I'm from the UK and have been to both Edinburgh and Amsterdam quite a few times. In Amsterdam I noticed that lots of people would not close their curtains in the evening and was told by the locals that crime wasn't that bad there and it was the norm 🤷🏾‍♀️ I wasn't complaining, I got to be nosey and get a glimpse into some really interesting homes 😅

@JudgeyJudgeyable Год назад

I guess that's why they hide their TV and appliances. Also in such a small space, it would be hard to steal anything large...so there's that...

@nomoretwitterhandles Год назад

If I'm correct, I've heard Amsterdam doesn't really have super high crime rates in terms of home theft. That's kind of just the way people are around there. Amsterdam isn't just a regular old city; it's got an entire culture to it, and part of that culture is frequently depicted as "party vibes" and "kindness". Besides, crime rate is different everywhere. Tokyo, for example, is probably way safer than most cities you can think of. The overall crime rate in Japan is one of the lowest in the world, and Tokyo accounts for nearly 1/3rd of the population, so I think it's safe to say you wouldn't have to worry too much about a burglary in a bustling city like Tokyo. Of course, this is mostly due to Japan's general culture. Amsterdam is kind of the same way.

@enigfilma 9 месяцев назад

Probably one of my most favourite homes so far. I really want a living space that is small but neat as I envision myself living alone. All of my dreams are in this. Ground floor with small backyard, right in a walkable street where I can see people walking outside and living life, dining room with cushioned seats, long ass kitchen with practically everything (oven, coffee machine, dishwasher!), bookcases in living space, bedroom with cute and functional headboard things. My goodness. I'm in love. Also, I have a thing where I always pick a spot where I think I'd frequent the most in any space/room that I go. So here I think it's the corner space of the dining table where the window meets the wall. I'd people watch for hours, with my coffee in hand, smiling at people if they see me and waving at little kids. Way to beat the loneliness while still enjoying my alone time. Orrr that couch at the back garden! Reading nook done right.

@gnarbeljo8980 Год назад

This layout is perfection. The entire home relies on custom joinery/cabinets, that's why this is so harmonious. I love the fullsized galley kitchen, the slats/dowels used to give dimension, texture, natural wood, hidden bath and wc, spacious bedroom! What stood out pleasingly is how they zoned colors and textures together. It's a very smart way of avoiding a boxy feel to any space, and introduces multiple colors with different energy to a small space from which you can see from one side to the other, without looking too dynamic and busy. Having a walled garden that large (comparatively to the indoor space) in the city is a true luxury and allowed for the natural light solutions, without it the home would seem so much smaller. What I couldn't do, is live entirely without art. Beautifully done!

In the Netherlands it's very normal to leave your blinds open. Everybody does it. It might feel very strange if you're not used to it. But we all keep our blinds open most of the day and even at night. Exceptions are usually to keep out the sun. So no it's not one way. But because everybody does it, they won't stand out and people won't bat an eye when they see you sitting there. Because they won't be the first nor last you pass sitting near the window. It actually adds to the feeling in the city people live there. You see the same in the 'suburbs' (for Dutch standards), everyone just keeps them open, even at night.

I really like their 516 square feet home .. The design of the kitchen cabinetry is very unique.

This is my favorite NTS apartment so far! I love how you utilize the space. I am inspired to bring elements like these into my own apartment 😍

Very good work guys! Very functional. No compromise on comfort, and incredibly functional.

Well, it is pretty easy to say that living in a small space is just a matter of creativity when this apartment most likely has cost over €1 million to furniture …

Best small apartment I've ever seen. Lovely design, smart, efficient. I adore it!

My favorite detail is the rounded shelving on the ends of the kitchen cabinetry. Cute dog. He really cooperated with the filming!

This is kinda like living in a caravan, every centimeter is very thought out. I would like live in Amsterdam but when I see this it just makes me change my mind. I wouldn't like to live in such a cramped place and then pay a lot of money and not even really own it because you need to lease the land.

It’s probably too expensive for that size that’s the sad part.

I think this maybe one of my favorites yet! Clever and thoughtful use of space and the simple beautiful aesthetic. I'll definitely be taking inspiration from this video for future renovations.

Beautiful. And so calm. Having the garden makes such a difference. Live this space, though for me, I think I'd need privacy film on the window next to the street. 😃

It is funny how Never To Small got bigger. What is small about this apartment? In the middle of capital city? Plus the garden you are reaching 100m2. It feels more like a joke now.

@lolololol7573 Месяц назад

Without the garden it's still very small for two people though. It's the garden that makes a big difference. But the garden isn't a living space.

Love it! The only thing I don't like too much is the window in the dining area right on the street...everyone can see inside (without any blinds).

@polbuco 10 месяцев назад

Thats how most dutch people have it. We always have open windows which we mostly only close at night. Its a culture thing. Waving to your neigbors is fun!

@soyfelipesantana Год назад

this style is very boring already... it feels like a cheap trend yes it's functional but lifeless and it looks the same as every other video I miss some cultural references and heritage, some personality... At least they don't have a Togo sofa

This is truly the most beautiful apartment I have ever seen !! It doesn’t feel cramped at all, so well done. I am completely obsessed!!

@TheHolyMane 11 месяцев назад

Very cool apartment. Need to take in this as inspiration. Only one concern is the toilet - I think it should have been part of the bathroom. When you have dinner guests it’s a bit awkward to go to the WC as the guest as it’s right next to the dining table
