Excellent design. However I wouldn’t have done sliding shutters for the loft bedroom, but would have put double panel glass to isolate the sound from downstairs and still have the natural light.
I think for American audiences the square footage will appear small. It’s fabled that native europeans are accustomed to doing the most with less and doing it in style
It looks like an art gallery but just to the point where I would feel comfortable living in it. Every single furniture, objects, wallpaper and tile is superb. They are gorgeous.
exactly! This guy clearly knows about art and design and history and thinks how to incorporate it very tastefully into everyday living spaces. Pretty sure I wouldn't suggest this for a family with small kids but otherwise it's perfection for a specific clientele who appreciates and pays for interior design such as this.
Well, yes, the accent and prononciation is lost on some highly educated french people. They spend 8 years learning English and are unable to speak it. A Spaniard, Portugaise or Italian with the same education or age speaks fluent French. Ras-le bol. He must believe le ridicule ne tue point. Hope he will spend a year in an Englishspeaking environment.
@@PS-bs8oe it seems you may have misunderstood me. What I was trying to convey was the fact that I lacked the requisite words to describe how beautiful the home was. Thank you for the comment, though!
@@PS-bs8oe your comment has nothing to do with (the most beautiful) design but goes on a personal level. One can perfectly understand him and it is not his obligation to speak any foreign language without an accent, he is an architect and he makes his job (judged from this example) amazing!
actually living in Paris and trust me you need to be quite financially confortable to be able to afford this apartment. This is luxury in central Paris! Situated right in the Marais quarter. Large windows with natural light. Well-equipped kitchen. Biiiig bathroom. And to top it up, the interior design et decoration bring out the charm of the combination of vintage and modern design. It shows the unique goût of the owner. I would love to live in an apartment like this!
At 1 million dollars/euro, that place can look good. I find it odd for the channel. Wayyyyyyy toooo biiiiiig, and barely any creativity. It s simply a nice fancy empty bachelor pad. Good for tbe owner, useless for small families trying to make a small surface work bc it s all they can afford.
Luxury, beautiful and probably not very affordable- well, might be true. Still not very functional and if the owner ever even adopts a an animal or finds a life partner it's going to feel cramped. What's the point then? Apartments and flats are supposed to serve one main purpose- provide a living space. Frankly I do not see much of it in here. It feels like art gallery, yes. But I cannot picture anyone living inside an art gallery.
@@sophiesto6122 Haha, calm down, Sophie. It's a small place that he's designed around HIS life. There's plenty of creativity and he's talked us through all aspects of his thinking. Families who like elements of the design can implement it on a tighter budget.
As a Maximalist who always faces the problem with having a hard time finding inspirations for my small flat to reach my warm, cosy but elegantly tasteful standard, this flat is everything I have ever dreamed of. The colour scheme, the design, the decorative objects- simply incredible. I love the clever use of the mirrors to make the room feel larger and spiral staircase that won't make the flat feel clustered whilst not compromising on its character and any decoration and functions. This is definitely my most favourite design on this channel!
@Late Notice no, I’m just a maximalist who happens to be a snob that enjoys interiors which are elegant and tasteful and always seek out inspirations. Maximalist does not equal elegant and tasteful, I’m a bloody hoarder, trust me lol
This is absolutely a home. Most of the apartments you’ve featured before look like they’re intended to be overpriced AirBnBs, but this is clearly someone’s full-time home. I love those big swinging windows so much it almost hurts and I love the spiral staircase even more, but most of all I love that this is an achievable, realistically affordable flip of a space that feels like I could actually own something like it in my lifetime.
This building in the Marais is simply breathtaking. Gorgeous apartment. The architect has incorporated or highlighted lots of interesting design features - the parquet floors, the mirrored frameless screen in the living room and the spiral staircase. Love the highly ornate bathroom featuring only Italian materials. By Australian standards the kitchen looks a bit cramped but I understand in Paris this would be considered a good size kitchen.
My kid lives in a 11 m2 studio in Paris with a kitchen measuring 115x 135 cm! Fully integrated fridge and a concealed microwave -oven- grill under induction plate and sink. Tight! We’re just finishing the renovation. It’s not a palace like this Marais appartement
@@deirdremacmahon8491 I would not consider this a 'palace' - it is quite small but the owner/architect cleverly used the ceiling height to double the space and the tall windows and mirrors make it seem very spacious.
Spiral staircases in tiny homes are beautiful to look at but most of the time it gives me anxiety using one. But since this vintage one has no gaps, I can actually see myself using this comfortably. so gorgeous too haha.
my favorite one so far. I've been watching since the beginning. I love the classiness and comfort of this design. Also I really appreciate the opened inferring of the French doors.
I love this. Who wouldn’t want to live in the Marais? I love the marble floor detail possibly linking different floor surfaces. I’m going to steal this idea!
Oh wow, this is beautiful - that staircase! The mezzanine shutters are so clever. And it doesn't feel like a small space - because it's been treated with the luxury and interesting, colourful pieces of a much bigger house.
Elegant, sumptuous and opulent. Yet totally comfortable, warm and utterly divine! What an eye. I am besotted with his place. Superb. Quite frankly a sensoria feast of such beauty.
Wow. Normally I hate vintage style because it's always looks so full and cluttered, but not this one. Not only everything is in adequate number and spaces, but also there's very detailed thinking about each of the room and furniture functionality. Very inspiring. Thank you for the video.
Chapeau! What a beautiful, sophisticated apartment! A real small elegant treasure box, I'm in love with the spiral staircase..and just everything :-) The architect has done a fantastic job.
It's like a Wes Anderson set! I love it. And his voice and accent! 'Ow very french. What a joy to watch! Makes me want to hop on the Eurostar with a baguette 🥖🇫🇷
I just love this one! Like this one is so good! Really loved how this architect designed and incorporated everything so nicely. A really sophisticated one!
An amazing elegant and light space. And in such a historic area of Paris. I have to admit i didnt absorb every word you said because I was mesmerised by your accent. I could listen to you all day!!!
What an elegant and sophisticated apartment! I like how bright and airy it is and having the large windows really helps open up what might otherwise be a small dark space. It really feels bigger than 538 sqft! I do love that the architect moved the staircase. I love a spiral staircase anyway, but I feel here it really makes the best use of the space and adds to the romantic atmosphere.
The clear delineation between the lounge and dining room creating a completely different mood is brilliantly executed, especially in such a small space. Love the bench which defines the dining space. That window and staircase in combination is a knockout. Stunning apartment with my only wish list item being a bath below the window in the bathroom which seems like the only wasted space in the apartment.
So many of these small apartment are too minimal and lack soul. You have found the perfect harmony for living small in a great, exciting city of the world.
Eine sehr geschmackvolle und gleichzeitig praktische formschöne RRenovierung. Ganz besonderes Augenmerk u. Geschmack in der Auswahl der Materialien und auch Belichtung.Ein Traumappartment Komplimente an den Architekten!
What a beautiful apartment. Oozes class and elegant comfort. I’m always wary of spiral staircases but even I could manage those (not sure if the hips would get through the bedroom door though!) I think I’ve watched about every one of these videos and this must be up in my top three. Am a sixty nine year old but could happily see myself living there.
I love everything about his style! Those golden pillows! That mirror screen! The book shelves around the sofa! The colors in the bedroom! Everything is a wow!
This is by far my favourite apartment! 😍 Love every inch of it and how it is decorated - the use of Chinese vintage cushions at the dinning table, the Chinese traditional paintings, the Chinese vintage vase, the plates on the wall, the selenite crystals in the bathroom, the marble counter in the kitchen, and the marble and tiles in the washroom and of course the stairs 💖 And how it doesn't look like a 538sqft apartment!
This is probably the most tastefully and beautifully decorated flat ever to be presented on this channel. Tiny flat that looks like the apartments featured in interior design magazines. It's such a nice departure from all the plywood thats usually used in these tiny flats.
The spiral staircase and the scalloped ceiling are the highlights of this unique apartment. Personally, I would have worked the kitchen into the main living/dining area and made a laundry and a pantry room where the galley kitchen currently is. Bedroom is amazing and the two floors always make a small unit more like a home. Thank you #NeverTooSmall for sharing this with us.
He probably doesn't cook much and the compact kitchen is just right. Having an open kitchen in the main living /dining area in this very small space is going to make it look even smaller.
I love the sliding shutters for the second floor!!! Not being able to isolate the loft was always the only thing that I disliked about lofts and he basically solved it.
Italian origins? Oh, that explains this beautiful accomplishment! The blue sofa and orange shaded cushions is a homage to Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Thomas's native city.The detached kitchen with its abundance of natural light is thoroughly charming, whilst the foyer, albeit 'piccolo' is elegant and plays a very, very, very important role in dilineating the Stendahlian layout:at every turn one gasps, almost faints, from the joy the sights provide, at every turn of a corner there is as an unexpected morphing of the apartment's ceiling height, therein producing a flucating show of light. È una meraviglia!!! Complimenti Thomas & Alexander!!
This looks so expensive! Which is not a bad thing, is an elegant show off apartment. Practical and so beautiful, love the attention put in the bathroom, for me bathrooms are super important. Even while the kitchen is small is very well used. Love this luxurious appartment.
The tile in the shower and orange marble are stunning. I wouldn't mind waking up to that and the sunny light from the window every day. The exterior of that building is gorgeous too.
Well this is simply stunning. So many of the units featured on this channel are cold and sterile feeling, but this one has an elegant warmth to it. I think I found my Paris dream home! Bravo to Thomas!
This is my favourite apartment so far! Everything has been well considered, and nothing overlooked. A beautiful colour scheme, decor and that spiral staircase is heavenly!
Oh my God , this is my favorite project, absolutely gorgeous ! Well done. This shows that with a budget and talent you can transform a medium size space 50 sim is not "small in Paris" in something truly special ..so refined and elegant. Must be extremely costly including this beautiful "raw" flat in a Hotel Particulier in Le Marais .
