This building have about 40 studios and 40 1 bedders. It would be amazing to show and compare what people did with them! I kept my original layout, and only did minor changes to it. (out of respect for H. Seidler, and due to a small budget.) I think my studio is practical, and homely, my kitchen has a decent size fridge, dishwasher, washing mashine and a hot water system, and plenty of storage. I furnished it with Ikea furniture , because I could do it myself. (I even have a proper wardrobe, 1.8 meter wide, floor to ceiling.) If you live in this location, you go out a lot..I used to say, that my living room is the Art Gallery of NSW. we have a garden and a pool as well.
Almost the best thing about these videos are the audio quality. Not just the music - I really like the Australian and New Zealand accents most of the architects have. The audio technician and mixer does great work!!
I want to do that with my apartment. I don't sleep well with a big window next to my bed, is awful, noisy and too much bright as soon the sun goes up And my kitchen is so quite at the back 🙄
michaelcsutton , I'm not an architect but a landlord. I get inspired by good design and adapt them in my spaces. I use mirrors like that in my spaces. My tenants truly appreciate good design.
I love this apartment!! I always learn a lot from this videos like using large tiles to improve the feeling of quality, or the full panoramic window which opens up the space so much... People like to complain a lot. Small apartments are full of charm and they challenge your creativity because you've got to get the most from each square meter. This is a small place that has certain features that make it a pleasurable space, and cleaning must be very easy too... but people love being in gigantic houses that require maintenance and an army to keep clean, plus utilities are higher , so stop bragging, nobody is trying to convince you to move into a small house or apartment, this is for people like me.
That view is incredible!!! It almost doesn't even look real....more like a perfect photograph! I'd never get anything done; I'd just be staring out watching the boats go in and out all day long, lol
I genuinely LOVE this. I've always wanted a tiny house and recently stayed in a one bedroom apartment to dogsit for a coworker and even her space felt too big for me. If the closet in my current room was a bathroom and my desk was a stovetop oven, I'd be in heaven. This would be a dream for me.
It is interesting how the living space has been designed to be as large and open as simple and clean as possible. That individuals can then easily accommodate themselves and the process that gives them colors gives warmth to the entire space is due to the materials that their color palette has that did not occur to me before as a student.
Can see my head getting knocked out by the cupboards above the bed everyday trying to sit up on the bed....Huge design flaw! Can't even sit and read in bed without stiffing 5 pillows in there
This is my new favorite channel. I can't get enough of these videos. Them windows and that view really makes this apartment! I wish they would include the old and new values of the apartments, though, or the old and new rent prices.
A special edition episode featuring tiny double bedrooms would be amazing to see. I have a 60 square foot bedroom and I want to find ways of adding storage in a minimal, considered way and without making the room feel smaller. Love the bedroom scene in this video. A bathroom edition would be amazing too. I've taken note of the tiles he's used in this example.
This would be a perfect Airbnb room to be rent out. I guess someone might want to pay over $300 a night for this location, view, and minimalist design.
Paul Yu was thinking the same thing . I couldn’t see myself living here but I’d love to spend a night or 2 there with that view .. $300 a night is doable .
I like how they moved the kitchen for the Bedroom and the brights looking colors inside the apt. but maybe the storage at the bedroom could be on the upside down the bed for spacing the room and feeling it more bigger
Every episode of Never Too Small This color gives off sense of larger space This texture gives off sense of more open area This design gives off feeling of more room This lighting gives off a curvature that makes this space seem bigger. . . I love it... If I didn't have 3 kids, I would definitely do this.
View is beautiful. I installed a sink to ceiling mirror in my bathroom but it would get dirty easily from water splash. Cooking with oil might be a little messy but using stainless steel pots instead of pans could reduce splatter.
Theres something called "small space to work with". The more information you put in small spaces, the smaller it looks. Its something very clear to everyone who study about small architecture.
Having watched so many of the videos on this channel, in my opinion the smaller the apartment the better job the architects do. It's the ones 50 sqm plus that disappoint but these tinier ones are more impressive.
You are supposed to sleep the other way round, so when you wake up naked the next morning, you can open the wardrobe and think of what to wear whilst touching yourself.
i love everything, even where the kitchen is placed is perfect! i believe the bedroom would benefit with having a storage installed within the wall if the bed is more than 10ft high or something :( at least the bed looks that wide to me the pull-out iron board would be really nice on the living space side of the room really, the entrance is just beside the "up to the ceiling" mirror wardrobe and a lot of traffic can be reduced transferring that particular furniture, along with the pull-out table :(( idk just some ideas *in tiny fonts*
It would be fascinating to know what that apartment would sell for now. Sydney is bloody expensive, that's an expensive part of Sydney, amazing location, brilliant view, great finish, but it is small. Edit: It looks like the apartment sold for AUD$535,000 mid-2019, as a shell. Think it also comes with a car park.
i grew up in the apartments next door to these ones in the 90s. my parents werent wealthy. one parent income because my mum was looking after my little brother who was just a baby at the time. i think it was somewhat pricey because my mum would be so frugal when doing grocery shopping and then when we got to have take away it was only a few times a year. still.... sydney is so expensive today that you couldn't dream of living in a place like this with that view. and we had the top floor and a huge balcony. rich people ruin everything
I lived in that building back in the late 1970's; I was renting but had the option to buy. If I recall correctly, the price was only about $A23,500, for my ground-floor courtyard garden studio. I didn't exercise that option and have been kicking myself in the years since. :D
To put that in terms 🇺🇸 can understand: AU $535,000 (the price before the rehab) converts to about US $355,000 = $1225/square foot which is equivalent to prices in Brooklyn (Manhattan averages $1600). I'm glad to live in Chicago, which averages $240/sq ft
@@Nyx773 It would be interesting to see what the $/sq foot would be now, not only as a result of the makeover but also in the increased "value" of real estate. Thanks for the context and maths.
Love this design. All one needs in their life and can be adapted to car port/garage design. I would only want the bed to be higher and not built into the wall or with built in cabinetry.
