NEVER TOO SMALL: Architects' Flexible Three Balcony 1860’s Apartment, Madrid 55sqm/592sqft 

Wonderful inspiration to use those IKEA bowls for the recessed lighting. It's just one of the ways this design demonstrates creative use of economical materials. Another favorite!

They seem like such happy people and their home/office reflects that.

It's so interesting to see affordable items and offcuts of materials used alongside more niche ideas, just shows how you can save on redoing your own space

What fascinated me the most was the use of curtains inside to create a sense of privacy, I loved the way the light and breeze interacted with the fabric, very aesthetic and smart usage

Wow....this is one of the best....the design, style, colours. Are used perfectly....bright clean...great functionality runs through the apartment....the balconies add relaxation space ...I could quite happily live here...

I can see it for a couple who shares their private and professional lives, but I wouldn't be comfortable as an employee working there. To have 4-5 people work there and not have a bathroom door or even a solid wall is kinda wild to me.

those tile gaps giving me anxiety

Nice design indeed but quite astonishing that it's used of office as well. Up to 4 people work on that table, sitting on those chairs? Well... I understand why they do yoga session ahaha :D

The flat rénovation is nice, but the esposed toilet (with a sliding door until the glass of the shower I guess) when you have 4/5 coworkers is a very strange choice...but maybe is part of their chaotic lives?😂

one of my favorite featured design on the channel. Those 3 large windows are priceless. They're purely magnificent and dreamy.

I have been binge-watching your videos, they're so peaceful and share so much about homes from around the world!

the white curtains inside and outside of the apartment are perfect for expansion of light. the outdoor ones especially give a practical yet romantic vibe - being it gets so hot in Madrid in summertime, they can still enjoy the outdoors with a little less heat. what a beautiful and well organized home! oleeeeeeee!

I love the apartment, but honestly I was distracted in the best way possible by Patricia's style! Her suit, glasses, hairstyle, and strawberry earrings are so fun and memorable!

Beautiful space. I can see how well it would function as a workspace too. And what a street! I’m jealous.

It would be great to see one or some night/evening scenes in you videos. It shows another side of the apartments :)

Absolutely marvelous. When you have a 3-part balcony and good weather, life is good.

Strange because this gave me a feeling of calm and peace, which is not usually my reaction to industrial style. Partially due to the owners seeming like they’re quite a lovely couple, in sync with one another, and the cat! Love the curtains being pulled back to show the bedroom to reveal the kitty lounging on the bed! But also due to how thoughtful everything was done and arranged - just makes me feel calm. 3 balconies rocks! Beautiful apartment. ❤

Beautiful apartment! Only thing I would change is grouting the artisanal tiles as the mismatched edges are making me crazy already…

Very nice home 👍 I love the kitchen 😍

Do architects give themselves awards for the most exposed toilet? - Behold! There’s no door at all. - Door? Please, we don’t have walls.

I love how all the plant holders are made from leftover materials too! Even the plants are so green and lush, the care and love the owners put into this apartment shines through in every piece of it ❤

Very, very nice! Congrats!

Clever use of space. Like the removable TV idea. So possible with modern lightweight TV’s. Could also roll away if on stand of sorts.

The space is as cute as the couple!

The space is just lovely with TONS of natural light. Makes the apartment incredibly airy. The lil blue mistake is fantastic, adding a small pop of color and to the unique charm of the interior. WELL DONE! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Really really beautiful. Though I would still prefer a door for the bedroom. For example if I am sick while the colleagues are working in the living room, its better to have some peace and quiet on the bed.

I think this is my favourite space so far, I wouldn’t change a thing. So clever and beautiful. Still practical.

What I love about this channel is that every single video has people commenting that it's their favourite on the channel so far - such a positive place, appealing to so many different tastes!

Their English is so good. Beautiful accents.

It's a beautiful custom home. I like the balance of feeling very lived-in and minimalistic approach with some of the design themes like the all-white furniture and curtains. Light and airy and feels very open with an intuitive flow. Nicely done to both of them. ✔️

Such a beautiful space! It feels bright and open, despite being a small space. I love how they can turn the balcony into their own private nook

Very nice design to maximize light in the apartment. That balcony is so nice to have as well.

Beautiful- and they look so happy. Lovely to see.

It's great you added those beautiful plants all over the place.

that’s the coolest that a bedroom sink has ever looked, so sculptural

I'm so glad the flooring has the blue triangle... it really adds to the space! Gorgeous flat and couple :)

Amazing!! I loved the use of the light on this flat, it is really important how do you appreciate and prefer the natural illumination instead of the privacy, you gain more space and more ligth!!

Amazing project! So much creativity,, colours, materials and shapes wisely chosen to create a delightful space.

The light from outside is just wow!

Love this home, creative ways of adjusting it to work for them and still feels very homey and that kitchen🤩

This space is so wonderful. Congratulations to the team.

I love, love, love everything about this apartment and would happily live here! I also recognize this neighbourhood from my most recent visit to Madrid so I know I would be happy here. Kudos from this Canadian on a creative design and thoughtful execution!

One of the best transformations I've seen. And the issue with the white flooring was a gift. The blue flooring separates the kitchen perfectly. From the beginning i thought it was intentional, but finidng out it was a reactive desicion to a problem is inspired. Amazing duo!

I absolutely LOVE this! Why? Bc i feels natural, it's entirely unpretentious, it utilizes some cheaper solutions like Ikea storage units customized to great effect and on the other hand is full of exclusive detail that really make a huge difference. I absolutely love the shower/sink/toilet arrangement! I might have put in a door, or not, it's easily done. But the surface materials and ways of using the storage for separation, the minimalist (double) shower paired with the decorative sink with that f a b u l o s o tile, and large indoor window I just love! Also the mirror backsplash in the kitchen is such a fun detail, especially when seating a crowd. Adds a little firty element as you can watch or communicate w people sitting next to you via the mirror. It does require clear counter diciplin of the highest degree though! The bowls in the ceiling a stroke of genius! I feel this space still leaves lots of room for the imagination and for personalization with art, with plants, with any fabric or fiber element, and can stand changes of personal touch made over time as needed or seasonally. Which I often find overly designed and engineered spaces just plain lacking in. It's a consideration that's truly important in an actual living space, often overlooked by designers/architects who don't understand this is an essential function to any home and the difference between that and a B&B. Nobody (else) wants to live in a home that only reflects the architects and makes the inhabitant (and anything they bring inside) look less attractive. This space does the exact opposite. And of course, they live and work there, which usually makes a huge difference to entirely concenptual schemes. WELL DONE! 😘👌

Beautiful! Comfortable! So much storage! Such a wonderful place to love and work.

Such a creative layout. Open and airy and beautiful. Well done !

I love thst they used ikea not because I like ikea but it's a great way to showcass accessible design. It changes from "we got a monk in Tibet to source and carve this slab of pink marble" They have the ikea couch which is actually super comfortable. This couple has such lovely energy.. But whats going on with the sink tiles ??

So many smart things here, and the balconies are of course a dream.

Beautiful house! it feels so sunlit and spacious, and I loved the curated use of reclaimed materials. The lack of a bedroom/bathroom is definitely a trade off that some people would not make, but the owners did what was right for their priorities - and it really gives a different, wonderful feel to the space! Since they are the only ones living there, it makes sense. Combining the laundry machine into the dressing area was smart too, easy to put things into the laundry right away! 😊

Love the brightness of the space but I think I would need a mirror when I brush/floss my teeth or when I do my skincare routine! It’s a must have

I like that they use plants inside the house, it gives a more cozy touch to the house and the materiality of the wood with the white walls seems very very good to me

Absolutely Gorgeous! You made the space look much bigger! The IKEA bowls as ceiling lights are AMAZING! Injoy your stunning apartment! Thanks so much for sharing

I loved this one; it's really their house instead of an 'architectural project'. You can just see them living there and really enjoying it

I like the flow and simplicity.

Beautiful, and peaceful with lot of natural Lightning ✨🌞👍🏼

Nice and light and airy! What really innovative designers they are, I would love to live here!

Beautifully designed and thought out home

There is just one thing I don’t like in this apartment… the toilet and shower in one combination… looks very impractical! Not only because it is open, but the toilet would also get wet every time you shower. The rest of the apartment is lovely. Beautiful light. Plenty of storage. Clean but cosy design.

I love those tiles. Great use of the space.

Bravo chicos! De verdad un acierto de un diseño tan bonito y la reforma tan acertada!!!

So much light ! Beautiful

Lovely apartment layout and a place for everything you guys did an excellent job. Congratulations ! 👍

Again, I love the creative and interesting ideas for storage and living!

One of the best spaces featured yet - stunning ❤

Wow, great taste and creative solutions! The bowls in the ceiling are a nice touch and the place seems bigger than 55sqm! Great job guys!

Such a great idea in a small appartment this toilet inside the shower area!! Fantastico todo!!

Omg I'm in love with this apartment. Thanks for sharing this. It's a huge inspo for my new apartment.

❤ ❤ ❤ Love, love, love this apartment! I also like very that you used IKEA and not high-priced furniture only the very rich can afford.

Those bowls... Amazing!

I love the curtains for the plants!

Wow. What a beatiful home and good design, love this 😊😍🤩🍀

Its a lovely apartment, light and airy. The opposite of traditional Spanish houses, intended to keep the sun out. What would we do without IKEA? 😘🇬🇧

A very nice room concept with historical charm in a pleasant neighborhood. 💖💖

This is a beautiful, well thought through design. I love it and would feel very at home in this apartment.

Don't know if it's windy or rainy in Madrid, these external curtains may last a few days before they are covered with dirt and water marks...

Lovely, bright and warm. ❤

Me encanto !! aprovecharon muy bien los espacios , ideas que se pueden aplicar , los felicito

A beautiful apartment - well designed and fits in perfectly with the area it is located in. Congrats to the architects :)

Perfectly designed apartment for this young couple living in Madrid. I’m a lover of beautiful curtains and sheers! They give a romantic and soft vibe to a space…especially if there is lots of hard surfaces. Well done! 👍🇨🇦

Espectacular!

Love the apartment but the plants really caught my attention. What lovely happy plants! That monstera is huge. If that is your plant, well done ❤.

Might be my new favorite. This channel keeps improving with time. Thank you for keeping us company and for inspiring us.

Great design and beautiful apartment. It must be a pleasure to live in Madrid in such a place 👍

Its mora than enough. There are maany storage, light circulation is perfect. I hope you have a good life and happy memories there

Love it. Smart to use an Ikea cabinet near entry to sit & take off or put on your shoes.

Well designed..comfortable place to live with lots of light

Feels so fresh! Great work!

Haha, yay! I'm always trying to imagine where I would practice yoga in these NTS spaces and this one actually addresses it! A gorgeous, sun-filled room for practice (& living and working!).

I love that it shows you can make something beautiful without spending thousands on bespoke storage ❤

Lovely couple, lovely apartment.

So beautiful!

I love their home. It is beautiful.

Absolutely brilliant 👏 Abrazos de Portugal

Ikea bowls as lighting nooks, all the storage lots of it, flow and light, outside sink, curtains, love all these brilliant ideas. Well done, madrid couple, thankyou NTS love from Jakarta

Your plants are beautiful! and those balconies :)

Beautiful space and great use of light. Adding more height and elevation to the plants and decorative items could further increase the openness , perhaps making more use of the ample wall space. Another great video NTS 😊

That town is absolutely gorgeous!

Good vibrations in this place ❤😊

Beautiful! Congratulations!

The plants are amazing
