NTS: How a Sydney Ceramicist Lives Small 

I adore this humble, down to earth, creative woman. Sorry, but many of the guests on this channel take themselves so seriously and whisper about their studio apartments in such precious tones. This lady and her partner are a breathe of fresh air.

This is the best interview on the channel. This woman articulated perfectly what responsible intelligent design choices are. A wonderful human.

I love this new take on your regular series. Please pass on thanks to the couple for showing us how they live and for being so gregarious!

I live in a really tiny house that I own. It is my forever home. I don't pay rent and I don't see the point in going bigger. I don't own much as I am pretty minimal. People have asked me if this is my starter home, but I never saw the point of a starter home. This is the home I plan on staying in as long as I live. Hopefully have many more years and many more memories in it.

Love that the homeowner made those fabulous floor tiles.

What a warm and calming space! The tiles are unique and add a lot of character. I also love how enthusiastic she is about her space.

She did an incredible job. I agree we need to be more communal with items, not everyone needs their own appliances, especially ones that you rarely use! Beautiful.

I second someone else’s opinion… this is very cool to see the designer/architect walk through and then to see the homeowner, how someone actually lives in it the structure.

Absolutely great. This is a prime example of how deliberate decisions can have an impact. So many details that could easily be overlooked but where not forgotten. The choice to have no bathroom mirror and a strange and small sink. The small, almost invisible light switches. The choice to have cabinets without a handle. And the small stone as seating for the elderly. Absolutely wonderfull

I loved the idea of ​​showing the project in one video and the way the residents live there in another. It would be great if you kept posting like this! ❤

i don't understand all the mean comments. laura seems so sweet and if the house isn't your personal style that's fine but absolutely no reason to be rude.

Love the insight from the people living small. A someone who used to be a collector of stuff in my 20's and 30's I have recently started to embrace the principles of living small and I love it. I know many people do not have a choice or see it as a temporary move but I wish I bought into the principles at a younger age. It is so freeing not to have so much stuff and not being able to buy stuff it really means I had more money to spend on experiences. While this home would not work for me it is beautifully done and I love how she has brought her craft into key elements of her home.

I love Sydney and I really love this house, a great achievement what Laura and Aman did here!

my favourite episode of never too small ever. Such an inspiring and beautiful space, yet not pretentious. I loved their approach and vibe

Love how everything is thought out about the everyday habits, like the two top stove, the lack of huge appliances ensuring to live minimalist lifestyle, not having food wasted because you only buy what you can put in the small fridge.

This was a surprise. Great dimension to the initial feature. It's really cool seeing a bit of "a day in the life" of how they live throughout the home. Beautiful.

This video really helped after seeing the first video of this home. So good seeing the real people and how they actually live in this space. Very human. Night and day difference. Thank you.

This is a wonderful version of this tour. Thank you for adding it.

Thank you. This expanded format is a great idea - more honest. It takes these places from being eye candy to dynamic living spaces. Great to hear about the challenges & trade offs as well as the benefits. Also very grounding to hear her say this is a “phase” in their lives & reference to the Tetris element. Absolutely realistic perspective.

i love this longer format, and walkthroug. appreciate all the lightness in this beautiful home

It’s refreshing how there isn’t a lot of wall art. I’m surprised there’s not storage in the very long bench. The kitchen bench is beautiful but I’m not seeing so much utility from it. I wish they had done a bit more thorough tour of the upstairs, I’m not understanding the bathroom layout and the use of the rest of the cube. But all in all, this house is so cute and so are the people in it! I’d love to see more of her wardrobe 😍

I like this supplement to your main video. It adds a bit more of a human touch and depth to your main video (which is great) of the same property. I hope it’ll be an ongoing thing,

番組史上いちばん好みのsmall house🥰✨

What a beautiful little family and home. I love that she’s deinfluencing us and encouraging us to get involved in creating our home

She is so bubbly, I wish them lots and lots of happiness in this beautiful home :)

This was one of the warmest and most welcoming interviews. Lovely!

The shower area is the least considered area where it seems like the designer/architect didn't consult the owners about the usability and accessibility of the space. 15:44 Showers have glass doors, panels or even curtains for a reason. It boggles the mind that this was an afterthought and the owners needed to live in the space for while for them to realise that they needed a glass partition in the shower to prevent the water from spilling out. 16:33 I'm so confused and concerned that the owner is required to climb over and out the small window opening to access the rooftop garden. She also needs to step over the big gap above the courtyard downstairs. What if she slips and falls? Again, seems like another case of the designer/architect suggesting features with little consideration of how the space will be used.

I can imagine how they enjoyed their life with contentment and comfort. 🧡🧡

Lovely space with all the light sources, soft colours, ability to let the air flow in, and the pets watch the outside. Narrow art shelves would allow them to display a few record albums on the wall as artwork. ❤🇨🇦 Edit to add: all that lovely storage keeps it serene. No clutter! Roof garden is nice but it needs a garden door instead to climbing out the window!

I love NTS series and find this format refreshing - we get to hear from the occupants themselves. thanks for sharing

More of these tours! Love the more in-depth and personal conversation, especially hearing it from, and guided by, the owner

I like this new format of showing us the owners of the home. When I watched the episode about the apartment, I became curious about Laura (because she seemed so lovely and now I know she really is) and was sad that Aman was not in the video. A huge thanks to them for letting us peek in ❤

Love !!!!! Hearing from the owners and their experiences and insights ❤️

Beautiful home and beautiful host. So real. Food for thought and soup for the soul.

I love all the wood and thr hand-made tiles are beautiful. The two gardens are lovely.

Thank you for this new series! It's a really nice addition. Honestly the tour of this house confused me to begin with and hearing from the owners about why they made certain choices was great to see. The clarity came when they said this wasn't their forever home. Fair enough! I could probably handle climbing through a window and having the gardening tools thrown up at me for a little while too 🤷‍♀️

I love the community collaboration that small/minimal living can facilitate, definitely

This is brilliant! More insights on the channel. As I said in the first video, this is one of the very best homes featured.. Utterly amazing design and attention to detail. Thank you so much for sharing with us all. Deeply appreciated and inspiring.

Very nice complement to the architect's video. People often comment that the NTS spaces do not look lived in. So the owners's point of view and their more spontaneous presentation shows how it really is. I liked the space more after this video than after the architect's one. It's a great thing to have both, I hope you can continue that in the future!

thankyou for the Street Library mention!

I saw the vid by the architect on this place, and now seeing a vid by the owner makes me appreciate it more.

beautiful home! also love that Eric the cat's persistence paid off by the end and he got his food!!

I love when people give their pets a solid human name like Eric!

Been popping in and out of this channel for years, mainly because of the great ideas and relaxing nature of it. But this particular episode has easily become one of my favorites. Personality (she’s quite lovely) and the functionality of it all, are just the tip of the iceberg.

I love this one! Beautiful quaint and practical home! Love the plants to beautify the space outside too.

Loved the personal narration and amazing openness of space development process. Excellent next level NTS.

Loved this episode! I really appreciated the homeowners taking the time to showcase how and why they choose to live in small spaces, even if just for a period of time.

Love this take on the usual content. Loved seeing Laura and Aman in their space and understanding how they make use of it. It felt real and special.

Beautiful space, beautiful design and beautiful people. Felt really connected with their mindset. Great episode.

Love what they have done and the philosophy behind their decisions. Lovely!

She is lovely! just adorable. what a beautiful simple house!

Seeing how they live in the space was great. Would love to see more of these interviews. Thank you.

Great job - much appreciated all of it!

Absolutely stunning and cozy!

this space makes so much sense - such thought and good sensibility. it elevates all living spaces, be it large or small

Beautiful!!! Beautiful place, beautiful style, beautiful mindset, beautiful people! 😊🫶 Bravo!

I just found this channel loving it so far , and I'm very inspired .

Such a beautiful home! I love your design! I love your creativity! You are amazing!

just for anyone wanting to do a similarly designeed security door/grille - that gap is big enough for your hand to reach in and unlock from the outside..learnt from past mistakes

They seem to be such lovely and down to earth people. I share their mindset, but I’m not convinced by the layout. In my opinion it can still be minimal but more practical. Some impracticalities: - On the day bed you can’t really lean against the wall because of the artwork (which is stunning but it doesn’t work with the daybed under). - The dining area feels really cramped, it is at the narrowest area of the house. You can barely walk through when people are sitting, and one can see her partner struggling to sit on the bench. Plus it’s far from the kitchen. A narrow space like that seems more appropriate for airflow, with shelving, or daybed, or multipurpose foldable desk, etc. - The living room feels very exposed. What about switching the kitchen and the living room? Imo it feels less awkward to be exposed while you cook than while you chill on your sofa. - A very minimal shelf next to the bathroom sink is always useful. It could be almost invisible, very thin. - Both sinks are small. Even if you don’t cook, it’s always useful to have at least one average-size sink in the house. - Why not put a door to the outside in the bathroom? I don’t get it. There was obviously a lot of money invested in this renovation. Why save on the door, then to have to climb trough the window?! - Etc.

The real magic is how a ceramicist can afford that mortgage

Oh I love the owners, what a wonderful home!

gorgeous video of a gorgoeous couple living in a gorgeous home. 10/10

The calmness of that space really resonates and it is truly unique!'

I think her personality is so adorable. And i loved the home❤

I love that second video where the owner walks us through how they actually use the space !!

What a beautiful place, mate! It has such a chill vibe!

Beautiful project and lovely owners! 👏

Is very beautiful, thanks for share this amazing small house. I like so much this type of videos

Great vid and fun home and couple, thanks for sharing!

I love this new take❤

Absolutely love your place! Stunning ans so inspiring ❤

This is such a beautiful house but as someone who has lived in the inner west and inner city in Syndey, for most people (particularly w/ cost of living in Syd) this is a really large space to live in as a couple for Darlinghurst. I think this is a great example of living in a minimalist space but this is eye wateringly big in comparison to what most young couples can afford for the location

Thank you for sharing the clip -- Laura is absolutely treasurable! I love that she has such a tight grip on her vision -- so immensely inspiring!

Love this street! Sweetest vibes

The designer/architect aspect is cool, but seeing how people actually live in the space is great.

One if the best interviews on the channel

I would love to live like this! I keep moving things out but there is still too much. It's clean, simple and a delight design wise. Thank you for sharing.

Such a cute couple! I love the kitchen tiles, I can feel them through the screen

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, especially the interviewee’s perspective. It’s refreshingly different from the other content on your channel. It’s great to see someone embrace the little quirks, like stains on their kitchen top! 😄

thanks, to share it more detail, i need it to learn more about the reason why it's look amazing

Buying better instead of more... love her and her home!

Just beautiful ❤

Very nice elements…but, seriously..no room for ice creams after a major renovation?

❤❤❤❤ I loved the kitchen floor tiles!

Wow, she's great and the house is amazing.

I love the design in general! I'd have to have a but larger fridge! My sofa choice would be different! The main thing that stymied me is 2 garden areas that are totally not accessible whike taking up space! Make that upstairs window a Dutch door! Why have a garden terrace you have to crawl over a window and nit use or sit out! Bottom one the same! Sorry but a bad 79s idea most regretted having arboretum in living area fir bugs, mold, mildew, wood rot, termites! In space loosing idea, I'd buikd out and still have the skylights for light. Maybe structurally ut was there! I'd still build it out to maje a path terrace something!

We just finished renovating one half of an extremely small duplex. I wish I had seen that bench top burner prior! 😍 Definitely going to look into that for side 2 of said duplex!!! Love those tiles as well.

Honestly I want to have a whole debate about that day bed, I personally did not really get it, I thought it looked super cool in the space but the high wooden sides almost made it look more like a display case. It’s not long enough for either of them to stretch out obviously and looks like two would not have thaaat much space AND be forced to sit up ramrod straight. Can someone speak in défense of it? Really curious to hear other perspectives !!

Really love this presentation style

Absolutely love this couples take on never too small. They did an amazing job organising 47sgm. Very stylish very liveable

This is my favorite home! I am so happy we got to hear from the very sweet homeowner, and she answered some of the questions I had, after watching the first video...like where is the cat litter box, and what was the ladder in the bathroom for! I am obsessed with this lovely home, and inspired to live more minimally.

The house is so beautiful and intentional.

Omg I have a similar dining table with a gap in the middle and never understood its use - but WOW I get it now thank you Laura!! A gap for cords!!!

Nice to see the actual residents of the home after seeing the architect's video!

absolutely beautiful home

This perspective piece is great -- do it again please!

I love this space ❤

Beautiful peaceful home.❤❤

Lovely home not small at all just well organized and design. She is very talented a ceramicist. Well done :)
